<p>Ok, this was very optimistic. This try will probably have ended with
<strong>configure</strong> complaining about several missing libraries.</p>
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>

each other. This is done by setting an appropriate LDFLAGS. Unfortunately,
the syntax again differs from system to system:</p>
