<p>RRDtool relies on services of third part libraries. Some of these libraries
may already be installed on your system. You have to compile copies of the other

<p>Ok, this was very optimistic. This try will probably have ended with
<strong>configure</strong> complaining about several missing libraries.</p>
<p>If your OS lets you install additional packages from a software repository,
you may get away with installing the missing packages. When the packages are
installed, run configure again and try to compile again. Below you find some
-hints on getting your OS ready for the rrdtool compilation.</p>
