I am running ubuntu 12.04. I had installed zabbix agent 1.8.11 from ubuntu package repository. I wanted to try zabbix agent 2.0.5 which I compiled from source. Unfortionatelly the agent does not start. If I try to compile it on a host where a previous version was not installed then it works as expected.
Here are the commands how I did this:
sudo apt-get install zabbix-agent
sudo apt-get --purge remove zabbix-agent
# zabbix user, group already exists
wget http://../zabbix-2.0.5.tar.gz
tar -zxf zabbix-2.0.5.tar.gz
cd zabbix-2.0.5/
sudo ./configure --enable-agent
sudo make install
sudo zabbix_agent
ps aux | grep zabbix
