1.4 configure --with-net-snmp failed

[RohrbaGe]

Hi,

on a suse 9.2 and 10.1 machine I have problems to get the net-snmp
running.
On both machines the compiling of older zabbix version worsk fine.
net-snmp + net-snmp devel are installed.

I read in the forum that other guys had the same problems, but I do not understand the solutions. The seems not to work for me.

The message is:

I´m quite sure that this is only a lib-path problem, but I did
not found the place to change it.
The net-snmp-config file is in the right place.

checking for net-snmp-config... /usr/bin/net-snmp-config
checking for main in -lnetsnmp ... no
configure: error: Not found NET-SNMP library

In which files I have to change the path for the libs.

Regards
Gerald

same issue

I am using Ubuntu and same issue!

Hi,

...
checking for main in -lnetsnmp ... no
...

You need libnetsnmp installed (libnetsnmp.so).
So you have to figure out which package on your distro provides these file and install that package.

library link

Hey,

The libnetsnmp.so may be on the system but not in the right spot.

I ran into a similar issue when installing nfsen on freebsd 6.2

I resolved it by doing a search for all *.so's and when I found where most of them were stored, I created a symlink to the .so file and bam, worked like a champ.

Example:
Most .so's in freebsd are located under /usr/lib
cd /usr/lib
ln -s /usr/apps/application/xxxxx/library_file.so library_file.so

Link library

Hi,

Thanks treyh and wolfgang.

I found two version of libnetsnmp.so. one under /usr/local/lib and the other one under /usr/lib.

I linked libnetsnmp.so to /usr/lib/libnetsnmp.so and configure file was created.


My Question, Should I link all libnetsnmptrap.so also?

Hi guys,

I have tried you solutions, I think they are pointing to the right direction but still
are not soling the problem really.
I ´m quite sure that there is only a lib path problem.
I have now the libnetsnmp stuff in /usr/lib and in /usr/local/lib, and still
the configure does not worked.


Yesterday I allready foudn a thread in this forum, that seems to have the solution.
But I do not understand that...

http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5993&highlight=SNMP

http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6033&highlight=snmp+configure

http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6008&highlight=snmp+configure

Can pls. someone with more knowledge look at the thread I found and give a shot comment?

Thats what in my eyes makes same sense, but where I have to change that.
... _libnetsnmp_libdir="`$_libnetsnmp_config --libdir`"
...ya i find the above sentence in configure and change to --libs

The other hint I found is about libcurl
Curl and devel is installed on my machine, but I got an error messaging about curl if I run.
./configure --with-myql --with-netsnmp --enable-server --with-libcurl

If I run without the curl option I get the netsnmp error.

Regards
Gerald

explations

I'll explain this in a very basic way:

1. http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthr...&highlight=SNMP
This person modified the configure file, he changed:
=========
_libnetsnmp_libdir="`$_libnetsnmp_config --libdir`"
=========
to
=========
_libnetsnmp_libdir="`$_libnetsnmp_config --libs`"

2.http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthre...snmp+configure
Verify that libcurl is installed

3.http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthre...snmp+configure
this person got zabbix to install by specifying the destination to libcurl
--with-libcurl=/usr/local

When I installed from source, my configure command looked like

./configure --enable-server --enable-agentd --enable-mysql=/var/apps/mysql --enable-netsnmp --enable-libcurl

Hope this helps

Hi,
Seem it not works for me
Im trying to configure 1.4 on FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE box. Most of additional packages such net-snmp and mysql done via ports mechanism.

I've create symlink to /usr/lib for both libnetsnmp.so and libnetsnmp.15 and still got the error.
After do some reasearch, i found the following line on my config.log

configure

Try specifiying the path to mysql and net-snmp

./configure --enable-server --with-net-snmp=/path/to/net-snmp --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql --with-libcurl

at the desperate stage

Hi
thanks for your clue, but i still ain't get my luck. It still not working for me and still got the same error message and i'm bit desperate now.
I believe, the problem occurs when configure with -net-snmp parameter and have issue with crypto library. But i'm sure if my cyrpto libbrary already installed. I was did reinstall my net-snmp-5.3.1 and reconfigure with --with-openssl parameter.Also not work and get same error message. I have upgrade with the latest net-snmp 5.4 also generate same error message.
At the same time, my buddy do installtion of zabbix using ucd-snmp without any error at all.
I'm confuse.

upgrade to net-snmp 5.4.1

I've had the same problem with zabbix-1.4.2 & net-snmp-5.3.1,
but zabbix-1.4.1 configure ok! with net-snmp-5.3.1.
solution for me: upgrade to net-snmp 5.4.1.
ONLY after this upgrade i has configured succesfull zabbix-1.4.2 & zabbix-1.5

[Alexei]

I order to start thinking about these problems I need more detailed information:

- OS, version
- list of all net-snmp packages installed
- full command line when running ./configure
- error message

problem with configure zabbix >=1.4.2 is dissapear !
(all net-snmp-sources from net-snmp.sourceforge.net)
... may be write the version of the net-snmp program in zabbix manual -
software requirements ?

64bit path error

I had the issue on centos 5 - 64 bit. Got around it by using the flag

--enable-static

So it finds the path. Looks like a patch is in the works
