If you can modify the makefile to specify your rrdtool/bin directory to be /usr/bin then go for it (I've never tried it before). If you don't want to do that, then just try doing the symlink.
>>> "Kevin C." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 07/22/05 11:29 AM >>> Hi all again. I have a little file called pathrddtool.sh which contains the lines: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.10/bin After running the script I still don't get my path to rrdtool. I even echo $PATH and it's still the original. Would it be better going back to the ./configure instruction of rrdtool-1.2.10 and instead of specifying --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR (as stated in the rrdbuild page), just omit it? I assume it would install to /usr. The rrdtool-1.2.10/bin should map to /usr/bin, rrdtool-1.2.10/include mapping to /usr/include...hopefully... Correct me on this one.
