Good Morning,

I have come up against an issue with rrdtool 1.7.0-4.

I'm in the middle of a technology refresh/reinstall and went with the AIX toolbox packages instead of the perzl.org ones I've used previously.

Once setup I noticed ganglia wasn't generating any graphs, so I cut ganglia out of the mix and just tried generating a graph from the command line with the following result.(the parameters themselves don't seem to matter)

ganprd:/etc/rc.d/init.d# rrdtool graph 1.png --start now-1000s --end now DEF:ds1a=true_memory.rrd:ds1:AVERAGE LINE1:ds1a#FF0000:"line"
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Running dbx on it gives the following.

ganprd_E950:/etc/rc.d/init.d# dbx /opt/freeware/bin/rrdtool core
Type 'help' for help.
[using memory image in core]
reading symbolic information ...warning: Unable to access the stab file. Some info may not be available
Segmentation fault in glink.tzset at 0xd47f12b4 ($t1)
0xd47f12b4 (tzset+0x58) 800c0000            lwz   r0,0x0(r12)

if I force the install of the previous version or rrdtool graphs are then generated but then I can't restart the gmetad service as it fails to link with the older rrdtool libraries.

I've tried running the destroyRPMS script and re-installing everything via yum to make sure all of the packages I have installed are from the IBM toolbox.

The LPAR is running on an E950's with AIX 7.2 TL3 SP2

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks,

Nick.

Seems like the library linkings are not proper with librrd.a. 

dump -Tov /opt/freeware/lib/librrd.a     -- ( for librrd.so.8 )

The symbols should be coming from libcairo & libpango libraries but there is no reference to it. 

We will fix this.
