Zabbix installation in FC3

[raghaven.kumar]

Hi,
I am having FC3 in a client and i need to install zabbix-agent in it.
I am not supposed to compile packages on that machine.

And I dont know how to use the precompiled packages???

Or else is there any rpm file for zabbix-agent for FC3??

PS:Have installed zabbix-server in a Ubuntu server and its running.

I tried by installing FC6 rpms, phew!!
Too many dependencies!!

Can anyone tell me is there a way to install zabbix without compiling for FC3??

Thanks for your reply guys,

I compiled the package on the machine
by convincing my superiors that there is no other way to install in FC3
and telling them that Zabbix is ineed a great application.

You also could have gotten access to another fc3 machine and compiled it there. i'm not sure what libs fc3 uses.

I would probably dump an fc3 machine. isn't that thing like 5 years old?

hi dude,

theres only one machine havin that fc3
so no other go.


btw, you are right, its indeed an old one.
but they are our clients machine.

So, no complaining

I compiled nearly all of our clients by myself.
On RedHat9, FC1/2/3/4/5/6 and CentOS5.0.
On some REALLY old Machines running RH9 and not having some needed applications (e.g. compiler) i just copied the compiled zabbix binaries from a similar system, even that worked for me!
