Depending on the shell you are using, you can do either (bash,zsh):
BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
- INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.8
+ INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.11
Or if you run tcsh:
set BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
- set INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.8
+ set INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.11
Now make sure the BUILD_DIR exists and go there:
B<tar> and B<make> are actually B<GNU tar> and B<GNU make> respectively. It
could be that they are installed as B<gtar> and B<gmake> on your system.

- tar zxf rrdtool-1.2.8.tar.gz
- cd rrdtool-1.2.8
- ./configure --prefix=/path/to/installation && make && make install

+ ./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_DIR && make && make install
Ok, this was very optimistic. This try will probably have ended with
B<configure> complaining about several missing libraries. If you are on a
make
make install
