Old package in portage ?

Hi all

o facing issue with rrdtool on gentoo amd64 box.. mainly
python 
extension for it...

net-analyzer/rrdtool 1.2.15-r3
py-rrdtool 1.0_beta1
Python 2.4.3
GCC 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r2, ssp-3.4.6-1.0, pie-8.7.10

it give me error like this:

 >>> import rrdtool
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function
(initrrdtool)

I was told that this issue has been fixed in new version of
rrd tool rrdtool 1.2.23-r1 but this one isnt in portage..

Do i have to compile it from source my self ?
