(was really annoying since I got the bindings install fine on my FreeBSD boxes, and my Powerbook) If you are trying to build the above on Leopard on an Intel mac, it appears that you need to use

ARCHFLAGS=”-arch i386″ ruby extconf.rb –with-rrd-dir=/opt/local

else it won’t locate the lib correctly. (was really annoying since I got the bindings install fine on my FreeBSD boxes, and my Powerbook)
