Munin is about a million times easier to get working than Cacti. It's also trivial to write plugin extensions for the munin-node.
Munin-node is much easier to install using Apt or another package manager. It has many Perl dependencies :-(
apt-get install munin-node
Double-check that it included sym links to the plugins:

Use `update-rc.d` under Ubuntu/Debian or under RedHat use `chkconfig`:
# chkconfig --add munin-node # chkconfig munin-node on # chkconfig --list munin-node munin-node 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
Start munin-node:
/etc/init.d/munin-node start
