    Solaris 9 / ZABBIX Server / NetSNMP

    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
    Code:
    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.
