I have finally found the time to start up my cacti test environment, and confirm that at least TWO soft links are needed for several plug-ins to work.
/usr/local/share/cacti/include -> /usr/share/cacti/site/include /usr/local/share/cacti/lib -> /usr/share/cacti/site/lib Unfortunately, I have not found an way yet (allowed by Debian policy) to create these links in the package itself. I am considering to put this information in the README.Debian file, but believe that quite a lot of people won't find it there. The problem is that several plug-ins are using php chdir(../../) to move down the tree, but the php implementation of chdir resolves symlinks [1], so in the end the plug-in can not find the include and lib directory. So the solution is in rewriting the plug-ins. @ Brian Jensen, can you test if adding the second soft link to the /usr/local/share/cacti directory solves your problems?
