hello,
i can't compile orca due to lack of rrdtool.
I'm just install rrdtool from sunfreeware.
orca configure script try to guess if rrdtool is installed, but i think 
it only search in path like:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/...

rrdtool from sunfreeware contains RRDs.pm and RRDp.pm in 
/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.49/lib/perl

is it possible to copy this files in /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/..., or 
is there a better method?

thanks in advance,

gerard

  Just symlink these two files to your perl5 directory. This may not be the
best way, but definitely the easiest.

Change the first line of your perl scripts to be something like
#!/usr/bin/perl -I/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.49/lib/perl

(you might need to go a directory or two below that, depending on exactly
where the files are located)

thanks  for all reply
it  works
and i discover that  rrdtool configure script  has an option to install 
module
   --with-perl-options=OPTIONS  options to pass on command-line when
                           generating Makefile from Makefile.PL. If you 
set this
                           option, interesting things may happen unless 
you know
                           what you are doing!


so i'm using  perl from sunfreeware, and rrdtool module is installed  in

/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i86pc-solaris/auto/RRDs



i hope everything will be fine...
