I'm trying to install the RPM pf MRTG from http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/

The file is located at :
ftp://ftp.falsehope.com/home/gomez/mrtg/mrtg-2.9.12a-1.rh6.i386.rpm

When I try to do so, I'm getting the following error :

I'm trying on a Cobalt RaQ4i. What should I do to make it work. Is there an alternative for MRTG??

You need the gd library on your system to be upgraded.

Looky here: www.boutell.com (http://www.boutell.com/gd/)

Or you could use an older version of MRTG, I am not sure if this will work though:
