Installing RDDtool

Hi everybody. Im installing rddtool on a newly installed ubuntu os and im using the method found at this link.

http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdbuild.en.html

Im on the step Building zlib and this is what im getting on the screen

meniscus@ubuntu:~$ BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
meniscus@ubuntu:~$ INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.13
meniscus@ubuntu:~$ mkdir -p $BUILD_DIR
meniscus@ubuntu:~$ cd $BUILD_DIR
meniscus@ubuntu:/tmp/rrdbuild$ cd $BUILD_DIR
meniscus@ubuntu:/tmp/rrdbuild$ tar zxf zlib-2.2.3.tar.gz
meniscus@ubuntu:/tmp/rrdbuild$ cd zlib-1.2.3

Am i doing something wrong?

P.S wget isnt working for me so im just downloading the http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/libs/zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz file to the desktop and pasting it into /tmp/rrdbuild
Is this the wrong method?

Thanks in advance

this looks like a path error for the header files, typically found in
/usr/include, where stdio.h is there and {errno.h,unstd.h} are below in sys/

You are missing the "make" utility, meaning that you probably don't have any essential development tools installed. You need GCC C compilers, (g)make, stdlib-devel at the minimum and probably many more -devel packages to actually be able to build anything.

Are all those in the synaptic package manager section. Can you give me a hint as to what they are under? libraries? perl programming/python programming perhaps?

Sorry got it! at this link:

And think Ive installed it right well i hope so anyway! Do you know if there is any links for using rrdtool with lm-sensors? Im trying to graph the CPU temperture?

Ive read u can use the daemon collectd with those 2 programs. So ive installed that but cant find the way of configuring them together. Any clues?
