From: Greg Redder <redder@yuma.ACNS.ColoState.EDU>
Dear all,
 This is secondary to cricket, but does directly relate to it.  I
wasn't able to get any answers from the mrtg-developers list, so
I'm trying here.  This is a problem with RRD and as RRD is a prerequisite
for Cricket.  Thus, I'm hoping someone has encountered and solved this
problem:
 I'm running AIX4.2.1 and perl 5.004.  I was not able get Cricket to
run successfully due to a problem getting the perl-shared portion
of RRD installed correctly.  So, I either need advice on making
Cricket work with the RRD perl-piped code or a solution for making
perl-shared work.  There appear to be significant changes required
in converting Cricket to use the perl-piped code, thus
I'm attempting to fix this problem on AIX with perl-shared.  Suffice
it so say, the problem with perl-shared boils down to this:
 When running the script in the perl-shared/examples directory, I get:
$ ./shared-demo.pl 
ok 1 loading
* Creating RRD demo1.rrd starting at 926465070.
not ok 2 create
../shared-demo.pl: unable to create `demo1.rrd': step size should be no
less than one second
It doesn't seem to matter how I modify the $STEP variable - I get 
the same error.  I tried creating an rrd using rrdtool executable and
that all seems to work okay.  
Thank you --Greg Redder
