I tried to compile the RRDtool on HP-UX (IA56). I have gcc-3.4.3 and perl 5.8.0
I got this:


Writing Makefile for RRDs

Where is the problem now, in the gcc or in the perl...I have no idea..
Thank you.

i dont know the answer, and since you havent gotten a response in a few days, Id say go post this question on the HPUX forums.

http://itrc.hp.com they have many HP gurus who might be able to help.

Thank you.
I'm coming slowly forward with HP-UX, but I find Linux more friendly...
