Problem running the make during Zabbix Installation

[albert_newton]

I am trying to install Zabbix following the instructions here:

http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...lation/install


However when I run the 'make install' command in step 5 of 3.2.2, I get:


Making install in src
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/src'

make[2]: Entering directory `/root/src/libs'

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

[albert_newton]

Has anyone been able to successfully do this installation all the way through? If so, are there any compiled binaries that I could get, since that seems to be easier to install, since I am unable to get the installation completed from compiling the sources. Any help would be appreciated.

[richlv]

which platform is this ? could you try with latest trunk or nightly snapshot ?

[albert_newton]

Thanks for the reply.

I am running this on Linux UbuntuDesktop 2.6.32-32-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux


I can try the trunk, or the snapshot. Where do I get them from?
And do I follow the same steps as in here: http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...lation/install

[richlv]

see http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/contrib/getting_source

1.9 releases are made out of svn://svn.zabbix.com/trunk, which is what you will want if not using nightly snapshots

[dimir]

I have 2 questions:

1. Using which command exactly did you check out the sources?
2. What were the commands you gave after?

[albert_newton]

I tried following the approach of getting it out of the svn. But for some reason I cannot connect to the svn following these instructions: http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/contrib/getting_source

I enter the command: svn co svn://svn.zabbix.com/trunk

and it seems to hang there without doing anything ( not sure why).

In the meanwhile, I got the nightly snapshot (the other alternative that you suggested), from http://www.zabbix.com/developers.php) for the Pre-1.9.7.x(alpha) version and got more success with it.


I am now basically down to installing the Zabbix Web Interface part of the installation instructions here: http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...lation/install

Still working on getting through it.


I wanted to confirm (while I complete the installation on the side), that this new snapshot version has the feature of the low level discovery of services and applications (running on a server),and the SLA stuff. I did read that in the documentation of 1.9.6 Beta release, but wanted to make sure that it was there in the Pre-1.9.7.x (alpha) snapshot. That's the main reason we are wanting to go from 1.8 version to 2.0 version of Zabbix, so I was wanting to play around with this feature. Thanks.

[dimir]

It will include next low-level discovery features:

I got everything installed successfully now...along with the web interface. However when I log into the web interface ( the Zabbix front end), on the dashboard page it show 'no' in the column for Zabbix server is running.

I had run the command: ./zabbix_server
under the directory (/usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server) to start the zabbix server, so I guess that should have started it.

But I am not sure why it is showing up as not started in the Zabbix front end console. Any ideas or hints?

[richlv]

I enter the command: svn co svn://svn.zabbix.com/trunk

and it seems to hang there without doing anything ( not sure why).

your network configuration apparently disallows svn connections

In the meanwhile, I got the nightly snapshot (the other alternative that you suggested), from http://www.zabbix.com/developers.php) for the Pre-1.9.7.x(alpha) version and got more success with it.

so the compilation succeeded and the problem this thread was created for is solved ? if so, great - but for other problems please create new threads, thanks

[albert_newton]

Sorry about that...will do.
