devel is refering to the development files, headers and libraries
required for linking.

easy ...

1. Download, uncompress and extract rrdtool-1.x.x to the top BWM Tools
directory
2. Symlink it, like this ->   ln -s rrdtool-1.x.x rrdtool
3. Re-run ./configure with ->   --with-rrdtool-source

Note:
  For rrdtool-1.2.x you must add the --with-rrdtool2 flag and possibly
  also the --disable-rrdcgi flag
