Greetings,

im try to install zabbix in another directory (because my account doesn't have special rights). but it doesn't seem to work...

First off, you will want to use the --prefix option when you run the configure script. By doing this you tell 'make' where you want Zabbix to install to as well as where you want Zabbix to find it's configuration information.

Second, the directory that you set with the --prefix option, needs to be owned, or at the very least writeable by the user you are doing the installation as. Per you example, above, you do no have permission to write to the directory you are trying to install to, which in this case is /usr/local/lib.

For example, if you wanted to compile and install Zabbix to use /home/zabbix, and you had permission to write to /home/zabbix, you would use --prefix=/home/zabbix as one of the command line options when you run configure.

I already did it, but it still not working...

ps. I can't compile SNMP also... Zabbix is unable to finde "net-snmp-includes.h" although the --prefix is correct.

Im trying to compile/install it under AIX5.3, are there known problems?
