At first, rrdtool 1.3 is _BETA_ so I guess it is not a good advice
to use this version in a production environment!=20

What do you mean with RH Release 3? Fedora Core 3?
RedHat Enterprise 3? RedHat Enterprise 4 Update 3?
(And if you use Enterprise what "flavor" do you use?
ES? AS? WS? )

[... snipp ...]

It just means what it said.
It is likely that you don't have cairo installed on your system.
Or it is not installed correctly. If you run

pkg-config --list-all

you should see a this line:

[... snipp ...]
cairo cairo - Multi-platform 2D graphics library
[... snipp ...]

If you have installed cairo to some "weird" location (like /usr/local/cairo=
/<version>)
you may set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH and make sure you incl=
ude
the correct paths in the variables CPPFLAGS and/or LDFLAGS.

If you don't have cairo installed ... well you have to install it ;)

As said above I think you should not use the beta version of 1.3 (which svn
snapshot did you use anyway ?) on a productive system.

Use 1.2.x instead. I had no problems compiling this version under RHEL4U3
on x86,x86_64 and ia64.

HTH,

Andreas.
