I had previously posted about ""Can't locate loadable object for module RRDs in @INC (@INC contains:....at D:\mrtg\mrtg-2.9.17\bin\mrtg line 159"" After much searching and trying new things, I looked closer at the message. It was really not saying that it could not find RRDs.pm, but rather something inside of RRDS. something was not "installed". So I searched google a bit more and found http://www.wtcs.org/snmp4tpc/rrdtool.htm: >> "Once RRDTool has been installed, open an OS prompt and change directory to the X:\rrdtool\perl-shared directory. >> Then run "ppm install rrds.ppd" (omit the " "). A sucessfull install will generate several lines of informational messages." Not being a perl person, I was not sure what this was about... but I went ahead and did it: D:\mrtg\rrdtool\perl-shared>d:\perl\bin\ppm install rrds.ppd Installing package 'rrds.ppd'... Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\auto\rrds\rrds.bs Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\auto\rrds\rrds.dll Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\auto\rrds\rrds.exp Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\auto\rrds\rrds.lib Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\ntmake.pl Installing D:\Perl\site\lib\rrds.pm Writing D:\Perl\site\lib\auto\RRDs\.packlist and now it works :-) .... ahhhhhhhhh that was fun... and now ... on to 14all.cgi (or equivalent)...... :-) thanks Don Mahler SAIC Alex van den Bogaerdt To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Donald Mahler) <[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: Donald Mahler/Telcordia) p.HET.NET> Subject: Re: [mrtg] mrtg and rrdtool on windows 2000 04/17/2002 05:51 AM Donald Mahler wrote: > > > > Really sorry Alex, but I don't understand your reply > > c:/usr/local/rrdtool does exist I mean: you use '\', perhaps you need to use '/' in the config file. Perhaps perl is thinking of '\' as an escape character; a common character on unix to take the special meaning away of the next character. For instance: to print a colon in rrdtool you need to do something like: GPRINT:avg:AVERAGE:This\: or else the colon would be a record separator. Perhaps c:\usr\local\rrdtool is "translated" into c:usrlocalrrdtool and this does not exist. > > "Can't locate loadable object for module RRDs in @INC (@INC contains: c: > > \usr\local\rrdtool\perl-shared\blib\lib\ D:/mrtg/mrtg-2.9.17/bin\..
