zabbix-proxy install fails on dependency fping

[rv_overseer]

Hi,

I'm not sure if people came across the issue where the zabbix-proxy installation is dependent on fping.

On my CenOS 7.3 production server (not open to internet), I downloaded and did a make install fping from fping.org (v4)

However yum does not pick it up and still reports the dependency:


[root@server1 sbin]# yum --exclude=fping install /opt/temp/zabbix/zabbix-proxy-mysql-3.4.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm

Requires: fping
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@server1 sbin]# which fping
/usr/local/sbin/fping
[root@server1 sbin]# cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)


Your suggestions would be most appreciated.

I even tried this guide:

Instead of downloading fping source and compiling it manually, look for an fping rpm on pbone and install it with the zabbix-proxy rpm.
