configure fails on OpenBSD 4.1: net-snmp

[rickauer]

# ./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp 

...

checking for net-snmp-config... /usr/local/bin/net-snmp-config
checking for main in -lnetsnmp ... no
configure: error: Not found NET-SNMP library

I've read about net-snmp related problems here but none of the suggested fixes seem to work for OpenBSD. This is 1.3.7.

 # grep snmp config.log
  $ ./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --enable-static
configure:9919: checking for net-snmp-config

Any help is appreciated.

Same problem

I'm trying to install 1.3.7 onto a Solaris 10 sparc box.

Same problem

curl fixes it

By coincidence I've just discovered that the "missing" -lnetsnmp problem is fixable (at least on OpenBSD) by installing 'curl' first.... (applies to 1.3.8). Maybe some zabbix developers could look into the configure script to fix that?

Thanks,
Stephan

OpenBSD 4.1 / ZAbbix 1.4.2: NET-SNMP problem

hi all,

I'm facing the same problem with the net-snmp libraries running configure with:

./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp=/usr/local/bin/net-snmp-config

Does anybody knows how to bypass this issue with configure?

thanks in advance for your help.

Maxwell.

workaround for configure error under OpenBSD

Having just upgraded one of my OpenBSD boxes, I set out to reinstall an updated version Zabbix. I installed the latest version of OpenBSD, v4.1 on i386 architecture. I chose Zabbix 1.4.2, because it was the latest available production release. Of course, I ran into the problem with configure failing on net-snmp.

My configure statement:

./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-libcurl --with-net-snmp

Reviewing config.log, I determined the net-snmp libs were found; there was an SSL problem that caused conftest to fail.

I edited configure, navigated to line 10534, which read:

LIBS="-lnetsnmp  $LIBS"

To this, I inserted two other libraries, ssl and crypto. After this, configure succeeded, as did make install.

The changed line in configure read:

LIBS="-lnetsnmp -lssl -lcrypto $LIBS"

Worked for me...

Hi
Could you be more specific, what file did you edit?. I can not find the line that you mention
thanks

Solution for me

I fixed the problem in this way:
I installed all packages of net-snmp-*

yum install net-snmp-*

All packages are no more than 6MB.
Try this solution, I hope it fixed you problem


My Zabbix version is:
Zabbix 2.0.0 with MySQL

Fabian - this is a 5 year old thread, and he's on OpenBSD. OpenBSD doesn't have yum
