Zabbix 1.5.4 compile with net-snmp

[ataylo13]

I am unable to compile the latest version of 1.5.4 with net-snmp. This is the error I get:

if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../../include -g -O2 -I/usr/include/mysql -g -pipe -m64 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/include/rpm -I/usr/include/rpm -I. -I/usr/include/net-snmp -I/usr/include -MT checks_snmp.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/checks_snmp.Tpo" -c -o checks_snmp.o checks_snmp.c; \

I compiled with:
./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --prefix=/opt/zabbix --enable-proxy --with-net-snmp --with-ldap --with-libcurl

if I remove --with-net-snmp it compiles and makes with no issues.

./configure --prefix=/opt/zabbix/1.5.4 --enable-server --enable-proxy --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp

I tried to compile on my Slackware 12 box, and it is working just fine!
With 1.4.x versions I had to tweak the configure script to work with net-snmp and I see that with 1.5.4 it is working just as is.
Just:
./configure --prefix=/opt/zabbix/1.5.4 --enable-server --enable-proxy --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-netsnmp
make
make install

The configure script reports:

Linker flags: -L/usr/lib/mysql -L/usr/lib -lcurl -L/usr/lib -lnetsnmp -lcrypto -lm -lcrypto -lwrap -lnsl -lcrypto -L/usr/lib -lnetsnmp -lcrypto -lm -lcrypto -lwrap -lnsl -lcrypto
Libraries: -lm -lresolv -lmysqlclient -lcurl -lnetsnmp

Net-SNMP version is 5.4; What distro are you using? and what snmp version?

[ngarnier]

rpm -qa | grep net-snmp
net-snmp-utils-5.1.2-11.EL4.7
net-snmp-devel-5.1.2-11.EL4.7
net-snmp-5.1.2-11.EL4.7
net-snmp-libs-5.1.2-11.EL4.7
net-snmp-perl-5.1.2-11.EL4.7

The 1.5.3 works fine with this version.

I think this has something to do with "IP source addresses" functionality added in zabbix, that uses "localname" api function used by snmp. Older snmp versions seems to lack "localname" function;

You shouls check in your snmp_api.h header file ( somewhere in /usr/include/...) if struct snmp_session has a line: char *localname;

If it does not, upgrade your net-snmp to 5.4 and it should compile fine.

If upgrade of net-snmp is not possible, as last resort try to tweak (or comment?) src/zabbix_server/poller/checks_snmp.c at line 213 so it will not use session.localname .... I don`t know the impact of such thing, use this only as an experiment

[ngarnier]

You're right, no localname entry in the structure ... think to upgrade.

Thanks.

Thanks for reporting this. It will be fixed to work with all versions of net-snmp.

[ataylo13]

I upgraded to net-snmp 5.4.1 and it compiled. Thanks for the tip.

Just for other people experiencing the same issue on Solaris 10. I had to remove the symlink "/opt/coolstack/include/net-snmp" which was installed with coolstack, otherwise the old snmp libraries included in Solaris would be used, instead of the new ones I had downloaded from sunfreeware.com.

One of our DM nodes is running RHEL4u6 and fails compiling zabbix-1.6 on this.
Seems issue is still there.

On my CentOS 4.4 I changed in src/zabbix_server/poller/checks_snmp.c:
session.localname --> session.peername
and it compiles.

Not sure that is correct fix, thought. Maybe someone can verify?

[Alexei]

As a quick workaround, just comment this and previous line in C code and recompile.

Huh! Thanks this was useful
