Hi
during the last days I tried - up to now successfully - to build
a ZABBIX-Server (1.4.6) on Solaris 9 (SPARC) incl. the packages.
One problem shows up, if you use the packages from blastwave.org.
Unfortunately, the site is down for about one day now. But, I hope,
that it is being restored now. So I can't really check for any News,
etc. for this package.
There are no MIBS included in the package CSWnetsnmp !
That's why you'll get a lot of annoying error messages in
the zabbix_server.log file whenever you start it.
I just copied the SNMP MIBS from a RH5 RPM and installed
them under ~zabbix/.snmp/mibs.
Of course, you can - if you have root access - install it at
the right location in the file system.
You can find out where netsnmp is looking for MIBS by executing the command
net-snmp-config --default-mibdirs
At least, this command is available with the latest CSWnetsnmp package (net-snmp 5.3.0.1)
Now the error messages are gone.
I hope this will save somebody time trying to do the same.
Regards
Norbert.
P.S. Slightly off topic:
I am very pleased that in 1.4.6 the netsnmp compile problem
was solved. Thanks a lot for this !
Of course, I found a work-around. But this implied that zabbix_agentd,
zabbix_get and zabbix_sender all needed the libssl and libcrypto on Solaris,
although not really used. I used gcc 4.0.2 to compile ZABBIX.
