zabbix 1.7.2 ssh2 compile problem

[kmradke]

Using RHEL5 with libssh2 0.17, get the following compile error:

checks_ssh.c: In function 'waitsocket':
checks_ssh.c:64: error: 'LIBSSH2_SESSION_BLOCK_INBOUND' undeclared (first use in this function)
checks_ssh.c:64: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
checks_ssh.c:64: error: for each function it appears in.)
checks_ssh.c:67: error: 'LIBSSH2_SESSION_BLOCK_OUTBOUND' undeclared (first use in this function)

I realize 0.17 is old, but it is what is available via yum on that platform. Those defines were released after 0.19.

For reference, google found this:

Will a certain version of libssh2 be required?

[kmradke]

./configure --with-ssh2=/path/to/new/ssh2

doesn't seem to work either. Doesn't find my newly compiled and installed 1.2.1 libraries.

config.log just says:

configure:12198: checking for SSH2 support
configure:12214: result: no
configure:12318: error: SSH2 library not found

oddly enough, the configure script appears to only check for the passed in ssh2 directory if you don't specify the --with-ssh2 option...

[kmradke]

This manual manipulation of the configure script allows it to correctly check for the passed in directory for libssh2:

please report this on the tracker. looks like two changes might be required - properly supporting libssh2 directory and requiring minimal libssh2 version

[primos]

Libs must be installed in /usr/local, but work only for text type items, numbers allway return 0.

btw, that was fixed for 1.8

This bug still exists in Zabbix 1.8 on RHEL/CentOS 5.4 with libssh2-0.18-9 installed.

Using --with-ssh2=/usr/lib/libssh2.so or --with-ssh2=/usr/lib/

as noted (http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...r_requirements), libssh2 version 1.0 or higher is required

[edomaur]

I've installed libssh2 v1.2.2 from sources, in /usr/local/lib, but the bug is still present :

--with-ssh2=/usr/local/lib

results in the error

configure: error: SSH2 library not found

[richlv]

you probably installed it in /usr/local (at least i hope so ), try w/o trailing 'lib'

[edomaur]

Nope, it's in /usr/local/lib :-(

[richlv]

what configuration flags did you use for it ?

[edomaur]

It was :

./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-net-snmp --with-ssh2=/usr/local/lib --with-openipmi --with-libcurl --with-pgsql --with-jabber

edit : the OS is a Debian Lenny 32bits, so I had to install manually libssh2 since Lenny still package the 0.18 version.

[richlv]

oh, no, what configure flags were used for libssh2 compilation
