Strange failure with mrtg-2.17.4 and rrdtool >1.4.8 #10

I have encountered a peculiar problem with mrtg and recent versions of rrdtool on a Gentoo Linux system.

Background: I have two (and as far as I'm aware only two) applications that use rrdtool, mrtg and my own upswatch, a tool which uses rrdtool to monitor and graph UPS operating parameters via apcupsd.

If I allow rrdtool to update past release 1.4.8, mrtg still gathers traffic data, but fails to graph it, dying with the following error logged by Apache:

[Sun Mar 18 14:04:39.866602 2018] [cgi:error] [pid 19784:tid 140158795384576] [client 10.24.32.10:50654] AH01215: Undefined subroutine &RRDs::graph called at /var/www/mrtg/mrtg-rrd.cgi line 451.: /var/www/mrtg/mrtg-rrd.cgi, referer: https://www.caerllewys.net/mrtg2/

Yet upswatch continues to work perfectly all the way up to rrdtool-1.7.0. This implies the problem is in mrtg, not in rrdtool. But if the problem is in mrtg, then why does it depend on the rrdtool version?

it is possible to compile librrd without graph support ... maybe this was the case here
