    Hi,

    Im following the tutorial at this link to install rrdtool and work with PHP.

    http://thirdroute.com/installing-rrd...ubuntu-server/

    Now I have successfully installed rrdtool but when it comes to getting the php extension working i come into problems.

    I downloaded the source for the extension and untarred it but im not sure if im putting the rrdtool folder in the right place.

    My php source isnt at /usr/include/php5/ext/

    It is at /etc/php5. I put the rrdtool folder in there from the extension i downloaded and tried sudo phpize but it said command not found.

    Any suggestions?

    It is at /etc/php5.

    Are you sure??? That sounds very unlikely. /etc would be a really bad place to have a source tree. It is where configuration is kept but usually nothing else.

    Just because you have PHP installed doesn't mean you have the PHP source installed.

    I figured it out eventually. I was missing the php5-devel package. Its installed now anyway along with rrdtool and the php extension for RRDTool.

    RRDTool is gonna take a while to get my head around though. If only I had the luxury of time.
