This document will tell you about all the necessary steps to get going.
These instructions assume you are using a b\bba\bas\bsh\bh shell. If you use
- csh/tcsh, then you can either type _\bb_\ba_\bs_\bh to switch to bash for the com-
- pilation or if you know what you are doing just replace the export bits

Additions to this list are welcome. In general rrdtool should work with
the latest versions of the libraries. The versions listed here are just
what was current when I tested this.
