Installation Problem with Zabbix 1.3.8

[Umair]

I have been having the following problem with 1.3.x of Zabbix and had the same problem with the most recently released 1.3.8 version as well.

I am installing it on Fedora 6.
The problems are:

First problem

1). shell> ./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp
When i start with the configure command, no matter which argument for net-snmp i supply, it always give me an error:
configure: error: Invalid NET-SNMP directory - unable to find net-snmp-config

My installation of snmp has this file under the directory : /usr/local/snmp/
I tried giving the following paramters :
1). /usr/local/snmp
2). /usr/local/snmp/bin/net-snmp-config
3). /usr/local/snmp/include/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h

But all in vain, the installation would always halt.
I cant even make out of the code in configure file.

Second problem

I then tried installing it wihtout snmp Support.
It then gives me the following error :

Any Clue Guys ???

1. --with-net-snmp=/usr/local/snmp
2. do you have mysql-dev files (includes and libs) installed?

[Umair]

Hello,
Well as mentioned i have already tried with this option of snmp:
--with-net-snmp=/usr/local/snmp
checking for /usr/local/snmp/bin/net-snmp-config... no
configure: error: Invalid NET-SNMP directory - unable to find net-snmp-config

The installer finds the path and it points to the correct location, but still gives me an error.

I have mysql-dev files (includes and libs), as my Zabbix 1.1.7 installed on the system is working perfect!

I am migrating from Zabbix 1.1.7.
All the versions of 1.1.x install smoothly without giving any SNMP or the compilation error.
But i have this problem only in versions 1.3.x.

Funny, that i get the same error over and over again. But when i shift to 1.1.x, i don't get any error.

Solved, at least for me...

Hi,

I had the same problem ("unable to find net-snmp-config") installing zabbix 1.3.7 under a fresh RHEL 5 box.

I solved it installing net-snmp-devel. After that I was able to compile it.

[Umair]

Well yes, that was the problem with the net snmp.
I changed the mySql path to the home directory and the installation went smooth!

Thanx for the help !

[richlv]

well, i also had this problem.
1.3.8 on sles10.
corresponding dev packages were installed, and net-snmp-config was found, but configure log claimed that it failed on the next step - and printed out a bunch of errors like :
libnetsnmp.so: undefined reference to `EVP_DigestInit'

this led me to another zabbix forum thread at http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=295, but openssl-devel package was already installed.

in the end, adding -lssl flags helped (if anybody else has this problem, run "export CFLAGS=-lssl" before running configure).

i guess this flag should be added to zabbix configure script itself, right ?

same problem

I am having the same problem with CentOS 5, I have all packages installed and I don't see any errors when the install is done. My configure line is "./configure -enable-server -enable-agent -with-netsnmp -wth-mysql -wth-libcurl" I don't see any errors when it is processing it and the end output shows everything o.k., when I look at the Librariers: field I don't see snmp in it, but don't know if it's supposed to. The log though for the server keeps spitting out "Support of SNMP parameters was not compiled in", any ideas?

Replace --with-netsnmp by --with-net-snmp.

Well i've encountered the same error on SLES 10 with v. 1.4.2 right now,
the solution with "export CFLAGS=-lssl" helped.
