Can't compile pre-1.5 on Sles10.1

[themons]

Hello everybody,

I would like to test the future version off zabbix but when, i try to compile it with snmp some errors appears. I search on the forum but none of the solution i found works for the moment i use it whithout snmp, but it's realy a needs because we plan to use the new version on a SLES enviroment and mostly to monitor cisco hardware, SNMP is required.

when i try to compile:

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

Result:

checking for curl-config... /usr/bin/curl-config
checking for the version of libcurl... 7.15.1
checking for libcurl >= version 7.13.1... yes
checking for main in -lcurl... yes
checking whether libcurl is usable... yes
checking for curl_free... yes
checking for net-snmp-config... /usr/bin/net-snmp-config
checking for main in -lnetsnmp ... no
configure: error: Not found NET-SNMP library

So i try:

# /usr/bin/net-snmp-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -lnetsnmp -lcrypto -lm -L/usr/lib -lwrap

Then i launch:

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

Result:

checking for curl-config... /usr/bin/curl-config
checking for the version of libcurl... 7.15.1
checking for libcurl >= version 7.13.1... yes
checking for main in -lcurl... yes
checking whether libcurl is usable... yes
checking for curl_free... yes
checking for net-snmp-config... /usr/lib/
configure: error: Invalid NET-SNMP directory - unable to find net-snmp-config

When I launch In static:

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

The result is :

checking for main in -lssl ... yes
checking for main in -lcrypto ... yes
checking for main in -ldl ... yes
checking for main in -lz ... (cached) yes
checking for main in -lcurl... yes
checking whether libcurl is usable... yes
checking for curl_free... yes
checking for net-snmp-config... /usr/bin/net-snmp-config
checking for main in -lcrypto ... (cached) yes
checking for main in -lm ... (cached) yes
checking for main in -lwrap ... no
configure: error: Not found wrap library

For information:

# rpm -qa |grep snmp
net-snmp-5.3.0.1-25.15
net-snmp-devel-5.3.0.1-25.15
php5-snmp-5.1.2-29.35

Environement

cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (i586)
VERSION = 10
PATCHLEVEL = 1

I need Help Thank to All

P.S. : When I complie whitout SNMP it works

[richlv]

try adding lssl to CFLAGS, as in :
export CFLAGS=-lssl

[themons]

It works

try adding lssl to CFLAGS, as in :
export CFLAGS=-lssl

IT WORKS WITH THIS SOLUTION !!!

But I don't know what I have done with

export CFLAGS=-lssl

Can you explain it ?

[richlv]

that adds an additional parameter for gcc, in this case it informs about additional dependencies.
why isn't this flag passed by default, i don't know

as for why exactly this flag, if you took a look at config.log after a failed configure, you'd see more information, which would lead you to the solution.

[richlv]

just a quick note : it looks like some changes in current trunk require tcpd-devel to be installed now

Hmm... I am not aware of this! What is it required for?

sles 10 sp1, trunk revision 5665.
configure fails with :
checking for main in -lnetsnmp ... no
configure: error: Not found NET-SNMP library

both net-snmp and net-snmp-devel are installed.
config.log reveals that it failed with "ld: cannot find -lwrap", which seems to be tcp wrappers dev stuff that on sles is included in tcpd-devel package.

ps. that net-snmp message probably should be reworded a bit

[Alexei]

It looks like a broken dependency of the net-snmp-devel package in the SLES.

[richlv]

hard to tell, i have seen over-depending problem enough to appreciate sane, minimal dependencies.
also, zabbix compiled with net-snmp support just fine until few weeks or days ago - without that package being installed.

[Alexei]

Please, give me output of:

net-snmp-config --libs

[richlv]

-L/usr/lib -lnetsnmp -lcrypto -lm -L/usr/lib -lwrap

so that -lwrap there implies a dependency on wrappers ?

[Alexei]

-L/usr/lib -lnetsnmp -lcrypto -lm -L/usr/lib -lwrap

so that -lwrap there implies a dependency on wrappers ?

Exactly! ZABBIX assumes that all the libs are already available.

[kc5kse]

Yes, tcpd-devl is needed

I can confirm; tcpd-devel rpm needs to be installed for zabbix configure to work properly. I

[tazzu]

Confirmed !

Thx kc5kse ! After installing tcpd-devel the net-snmp error disappiers... Dam ! That was hard to find (this post)
