[rrd-users] is RRDTOOL 1.5 for Raspberry available?

[thom]

Hi,

is there a way to get the 1.5 version of rrdtool on my Raspberry running
Debian?

I installed rrdtool successfully on my Raspberry PI. But when I exported my
Data via rrdxport in JSON format I figured out the the JSON Format does not
have “” in it and is therefore not accepted as a valid JSON format. So I
searched and found Thomas Mainkas post which covers exactly my problem and
the information that this is solved in newer versions of rrdtool. Therefore
I had a look on my version of rrdtool on my Raspberry and figured out that
it is 1.4.7… when I run a upgrade of rrdtool the system brings back the
message that there is nothing to upgrade.
So any idea or a hint how to get the most current version for Raspberry
would be helpful and highly appreciated.

Thom

Hi Thom,

Just compile it yourself. It's not that complicated. Debian is way
behind on rrdtool versions so unless someone makes the debian package
for you the fastest way is to compile it yourself. Rrdtool docs
explain the compilation process and dependencies very thoroughly:

Hi PM,

thanks a lot for this hint!
I never compiled a project by myself... But with the description you
mentioned I got it really done! A new great expierence!

Maybe you can give me a further hint. How can I integrate the program in a
way that it acts as an installed program? For example that the shell command
"man rrdtool" would work and also the depenencies of rrdtool are stored in
the Packet manager?


Thanks again for the help!!!!
Best regards
Thom

Hi Thom,

Not sure about the man pages. I'm sure someone here can tell if man
pages are installed by default. And if you compiled and installed
rrdtool yourself you can remove the apt version so it won't interfere.
I myself use the docs on rrdtool website instead of man pages.

As for the dependencies with compiled programs there is no way to get
dependencies stored in apt with this method. But of course you can
install all the dependencies via apt if the versions are recent
enough. That's what I did.

regards,

PM
