Hello Sandino,

Cherokee can work with or without rrdtool. However, if the configuration file pointed \
Cherokee to use rrdtool, the server would fail if the rrdtool binery were not present \
(in the $PATH).

I do no think rrdtool should be a "required" dependency, but a "recommended", \
"optional" dependency (or however it's called in Gentoo).

Make sure the default configuration file does not use rrdtool though. It'd cause the \
problem you just described. In my understanding, the issue was generated by an \
inconsistency between the package dependencies, and the default configuration file \
shipped in it.

Thanks a million for reporting the issue and taking care of committing the \
workaround. Take care dude! :-)
