configure: error: Not found Jabber library

[Jun.Liu]

Hi,
I'm installing 1.4.2 on a FC4 machine and encounter below error msg when doing the configure cmd:
./configure --enable-server --with-sqlite3 --with-net-snmp -with-jabber -with-libcurl

the last output as below:
.....
checking for IKSEMEL... Package iksemel was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `iksemel.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'iksemel' found
configure: error: Not found Jabber library

Anyone can tell me are the jabber & iksemel.pc necessary?

Zabbix manual mention that these 2 options are optional.
Iksemel library and header files
Required to enable Jabber messaging. Optional.
Libcurl library and header files
Version 7.13.1 or higher required for WEB monitoring module. Optional.

Error message ==> Not found Jabber library

Hello,

I'm installing Zabbix 1.6 and I did a configuration with
shell> ./configure --enable-server --with-mysql --with-net-snmp –with-jabber – with-libcurl

At the end, this message appears :
(...)
checking for IKSEMEL... no
configure: error: Not found Jabber library

But I don't use IKSEMEL. Is this message is a problem?
the configuration arrived to the end?

Error message ==> Not found Jabber library

I'm sorry, it's obvious !!

When you don't use the Jabber library (Ikesemel), you musn't write :
./configure --enable-server --with-sqlite3 --with-net-snmp -with-jabber -with-libcurl

but this code without -with-jabber !!

I'am with a similar problem, but i need the Jabber library

See:

#./configure --with-pgsql --with-ldap --enable-server --enable-agent --with-jabber --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --with-openipmi
...
checking for IKSEMEL... no
configure: error: Jabber library not found



I've tried to install several packages about Jabber, all of repositories, but none of them seems to work, for example:

libpurple.i386
pidgin.i386
libidn
libidn-devel
pkgconfig
expat-devel
dialog
gcc-c++
libmudflap-devel.i386
psgml.noarch

Thanks the help.

I did install librarys adding repository EPEL with that url:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm

Thanks.

try to remove the jabber from your system first and then reinstall it...

I tried it on the curl lib on Ubuntu, it worked.

Sometimes it's easier to just download and build from source.

I'm having same issue with Zabbix 1.8 installing on ubuntu 9.10:

Is there any solution for this problem on Ubuntu?

I know this issue can be solve on Centos after installing iksemel-devel.x86_64, but it doesn't apply on Ubuntu...

looks like after installing sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev - there is no problem...

your OS is Ubuntu,maybe try these

apt-get install libphp-jabber
apt-get install libnet-jabber-loudmouth-perl
apt-get install jabber-dev
apt-get install libiksemel-dev (* this packet important)

[DonnEdwards]

sudo apt-get -f install libiksemel-dev libiksemel-utils libiksemel3

works fine on ubuntu server 10.04
I was having the same problems described above, and this seems to have fixed it.

[rdkls]

CentOS release 5.6 here
had to get the iksemel source from google code then supply
--with-jabber=[path to iksemel SOURCE]
(not the installed lib ...)
then compiled
(but when I went to run it couldn't find the shared library ....)

error line configure server

Hi

Zabbix installed with Virtual Box on Live Installer

#./configure --with-pgsql --with-ldap --enable-server --enable-agent --with-jabber --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --with-openipmi

why this line does not work?

[Cesar32]

Solution!

Error:
checking for IKSEMEL... no
configure: error: Jabber library not found

Solution:
yum install iksemel-devel
