Problem installing on Mac OS X

[kayers]

Hey,

I'm new to Zabbix and wanted to try it out. I'm using the last stable release, and I've been about to configure without complaint, but now when I do 'make', I get the following errors:

I don't believe this is really a zabbix problem, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any suggests? Thanks in advance for your help. :)

Actually, now that I look at it, it's similar to other posts I've seen... I'll go back and look, but I'm going to post this thread anyway...

What's your version of Mac OS/X? Version of ZABBIX?

I'm running Tiger 10.4.3, and at that time I was trying to install Zabbix 1.0. I switched to the beta and encountered similar problems... I've been able to get it to build by doing these steps:

1. ./configure --enable-server --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql-standard-4.1.15-apple-darwin8.20-powerpc --enable-agent
(why mysql is here, I don't know)

2. Change PACKETSZ in common.c to NS_PACKETSZ (courtesy of another post's information)

3. in Makefile.in: change zabbix_server_LDADD to include /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a (again, found this in another post)

4. Be sure to use gcc 4.0.1. (gcc_select 4.0.1 in command line; I was using 3.3)

Now it compiles fine. Thought I should write down what I had to do, just in case someone else needs it.
