Zabbix Agent installation issue on Oracle Solaris 10

[rohitist]

Hi,

I am facing issue while installation of Zabbix Agent installation from source. Precisely, the issue is observed while running "configure". Details are below:

#cat /etc/release
                    Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 s10x_u10wos_17b X86
  Copyright (c) 1983, 2011, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
                            Assembled 23 August 2011

And the error while running configure is:

checking for -m64 compilation flag... yes
checking for architecture... solaris (solaris2.10)
checking for ICONV support... configure: error: Unable to use iconv (libiconv check failed)

I have tried to modify the configure file and commented the statement found_iconv="no". This lead to successful configure run but running make install fails with following error:

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive'

The, I tried to use gmake for the same, and the error was:

Later I added below path into the below environment variable:

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/preloadable_libiconv.so

and the error of gmake changed like shown below:

Now, I suspect there is some environment variable that is not properly set.

Please help me in this.

On Zabbix Download Page I found 4 different version of Zabbix Agent for Solaris.

Do you mind to use pre-compiled agent?

Solaris 9 Agents 2.2.1 sparc Download
Solaris 10 Agents 2.2.1 amd64 Download
Solaris 10 Agents 2.2.1 sparc Download
Solaris 11 Agents 2.2.1 amd64 Download

[rohitist]

Thanks Aib for your reply,

I had tried both of the versions and both of them failed with below shown error:

:/$ tar xf zabbix_agents_2.2.1.solaris10.amd64.tar
tar: zabbix_agent - cannot create
tar: zabbix_agentd - cannot create
tar: zabbix_get - cannot create
tar: zabbix_sender - cannot create

Little I know, but the CPU architecture on which solaris installed is neither SPARC nor AMD. However, i tried with fail.

[aib]

"cannot create" - It can be a problem with insufficient permissions.

You have to install zabbix_agent from "root" account/privileges.

[rohitist]

Sorry,

I tried with root user. You can see below also.

[B]root[/B]@app2-voda-zabbix2:/$ tar xf zabbix_agents_2.2.1.solaris10.amd64.tar

[aib]

hmmm...

It looks like your filesystem doesn't have a space for new directories/files.
Or it's in rean-only mode (like FreeNAS root-filesystem)

Sorry, you have to check why you cannot create a files on your server.

Hi,

You are compiling 64 bit code (-m64) and at the ed you are trying to link final binary using 32bit libraries (ELFCLASS32). You need to install missing 64bit iconv to finish this.

[rohitist]

Solved !!

Thanks for your reply.

I went through many blogs and somewhere I found below parameters to use. And it worked !!

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/coolstack/lib/

LIBS=-liconv LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib ./configure --enable-agent

The logs are updating fine now. But now my requirement has changed and I am going to create a new thread for a help to setup agentless monitoring.

Thank you all again for your time.

[aib]

Agentless???
Would you like to use SNMP? Or you have any other options?

To tell you the truth, SNMP cannot provide as many data as Zabbix agent can. The most important and useful part of agent is UserParameter which can work with any local scripts and programs to provide specific information about your system.

In fact you don't need any libiconv.so.2 from solaris 10 :

Normally all iconv function are in libc.

just get a look at you /usr/local/include and if you have a iconv.h in, it's the problem with gcc.

He use the /usr/local/include instead of /usr/include

Have a look at this :

Solaris 10 zabbix_agentd: fatal: libresolv.so.2: version `SUNW_2.3' not found

I'm new on this board so sorry if this has been answered elsewhere.

I had the issue with the libresolv installing 1.6 on Solaris 10, intel 64 bit.

For solaris binaries I usually try OpenCSW first, http://www.opencsw.org/

I was able to install precompiled 2.0 binaries easily.
