configure not able to find ipmiif.h OPENIPMI

[agentguerry]

Hi all.

Thanks for looking.

I am installing the newest zabbix source on a rhel 6.1 x86_64 server.

I am running "./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --with-openipmi --enable-agent"

but i am hanging at the end with the error of:

checking for OPENIPMI support... no
configure: error: Invalid OPENIPMI directory - unable to find ipmiif.h


I have installed:

[root@zabbix-dev zabbix-1.8.11]# rpm -qa | grep Open
pyOpenSSL-0.10-2.el6.x86_64
OpenIPMI-libs-2.0.16-12.el6.x86_64
OpenIPMI-2.0.16-12.el6.x86_64


any ideas to what could be missing? I searched around and didn't see too much existing on this error.

thank you,

I think that is missing OpenIPMI-devel ...

Fixed the issue.

I wasn't paying attention and needed the OpenIPMI-devel package.

It had a dependency and I also had to install ncurses-devel

this was Rhel6.1 OS

OpenIPMI-devel wasn't in my repo, so i found it online.


rpm -Uvh OpenIPMI-devel-2.0.16-12.el6.x86_64.rpm
yum install ncurses-devel
rpm -Uvh OpenIPMI-devel-2.0.16-12.el6.x86_64.rpm
