try download the rrdtool sources, untargz it, type   ./configure 
--help   check how to enable shared libraries, i think its   --enable-shared
type   make
type  make install


make sure /etc/ld.so.conf  contains /usr/local/lib
type   ldconfig


try reconfigure bwm-tools

it seems some distro's don't include shared libraries for rrdtool... 
stupid if u ask me, bwm-tools uses rrdtool to generate funky looking 
graphs for traffic utilization.


let me know if you have any problems
