Re^2: RRDs.pm on windows

Hi. I have already tried to install using the ppd file but this will not work. I used the instructions here http://sicm.sourceforge.net/install.html. But I get this error when I tyep install RRDs: error: can't parse : File does not exist: at C:/Perl/site/lib/PPM/PPD.pm line 1 99. any ideas please? Everything seems to be against me! I have even tried to compile with a c compiler but that also gives me errors.

The error message would seem to say you typed your command into PPM incorrectly? I downloaded the zip file from that site and extracted it into c:\temp\rrd\ . I then CD'd into directory c:\temp\rrd\perl-shared . I then started ppm3 and entered the command `install "C:/temp/rrd/perl-shared/RRDs.ppd"` [download] and got output ==================== Install 'RRDs' version 1.000481 in ActivePerl 5.8.4.810. ==================== Downloaded 358639 bytes.
