PATCH [1.3.6] r4084: MySQL & Net-SNMP compilation errors (repost)

[Farzad FARID]

Hi,

This is a repost of the patch I erroneously posted in a discussion forum: http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5925

It corrects a problem in m4 files that prevents MySQL and Net-SNMP from compiliing on somes Linux distributions, like Fedora Core 5 (32 and 64 bits).

Regards

Thanks for this patch Farzad. I applied it on CentOS4.4 but it still doesn't pass the configuration phase with error:
checking for net-snmp-config... /usr/bin/net-snmp-config
checking for main in -lnetsnmp ... no
configure: error: Not found NET-SNMP library

Can you help?

Thanks,
Eran

Hi,

You have to re-generate the "configure" script. If you are using the SVN version, have a look at the "go" script. Otherwise, you need to have "autoconf", "automake" and such installed, and then run the following commands:

aclocal -I m4
autoconf
autoheader
automake -a
automake

How to apply the patch...

Hi I'm new around here so go easy:>)

I'm having this exact same problem on a centos 4.4 system, it's not a 64 bit system though.

What is the process for applying this patch, is there an updated version out on the CVS what has this patch in it? If so where can that be found?

Thanks,

Bluesin

Hi,

That patch is not integrated in Subversion yet. Here are some instructions:

• Save the patch in a file.
• Go to the zabbix source directory
• Apply the patch with "patch -p0 < ../mypatch.txt"
• Check that you have autoconf, automake, etc. installed on your server
• Run the 4 commands I gave in my previous post
• Compile and test

If it doesn't work or if my instructions are not clear enough your best bet is to wait for the next pre-release

Thanks, got it

I guess by "source" directory you mean the base zabbix-1.3.6 directory and not the actual "src" directory.

Patch is installed and all the commands run successfully, but still getting the error,

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

I had this problem with the mysql libraries and we had to create symlinks in /usr/lib, is this perhaps the same type of error?

Thanks,

Check the config.log file and search for information on net-snmp in it.

Yes, same error for MySQL and Net-SNMP. My patch corrects both problems, at least for me. I'm surprised the patch didn't work for you, but there is one significant difference, as I directly use the Subversion "trunk" directory.

And check "config.log" for debugging messages. Here is for example what I've got in mine, around line 6300:

configure:8933: checking for net-snmp-config
configure:8951: found /usr/bin/net-snmp-config
configure:8963: result: /usr/bin/net-snmp-config
configure:9011: checking for main in -lnetsnmp
configure:9040: gcc -o conftest -Wall   -I/usr/include/mysql -DBIG_JOINS=1     -I. -I/usr/include      -L/usr/lib/mysql    -L/usr/lib -L/
usr/lib  -L/usr/lib conftest.c -lnetsnmp   -lcurl  -lresolv -lnsl    -lmysqlclient    -lcurl  -lm -lwrap -lwrap -lcrypto >&5
configure:9046: $? = 0
configure:9064: result: yes

If, for example, your net-snmp library is in "/usr/lib/net-snmp" you should see something like "-L/usr/lib/net-snmp" before "-lnetsnmp".

Also, run the 3 following commands, and compare the values with the one you found in the "config.log" file.

net-snmp-config --libdir
net-snmp-config --cflags
net-snmp-config --libs

In the meantime, if it doesn't work, maybe you can create symlinks

This is the error that is showing up...

in the config.log

/usr/lib/libnetsnmp.so: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail@GLIBC_2.4'
/usr/lib/libnetsnmp.so: undefined reference to `__syslog_chk@GLIBC_2.4'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Just a question, is there a dependency for a specific version of net-snmp?

This looks more like a CentOS problem or a local configuration problem than a Zabbix bug.. I can't help you much as I don't have any CentOS server, sorry.

Do you know if...

any version of net-snmp will work?

Bluesin

[eran]

I'm still having the same problem too.
Version 1.3.4 compiled without a problem so I don't think it's a CentOS problem.
I tried replacing the netsnmp.m4 file with the one from version 1.3.4 but it doesn't work either.

Hmmmmm,

ok, I uninstalled the latest version and went back to the version that was orginally installed on my system and re-ran the configure, this is what is being produced in the config.log now,


configure:8494: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/include/mysql -g -pipe -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/include/rpm -I/usr/include/rpm -I. -I/usr/include/net-snmp -L/usr/lib/mysql -L/usr/lib unknown option --libdir

Unknown option --libdir

Running the command

net-snmp-config --libdir

produces the same problem,

It seems that the proper command for my version is

net-snmp-config --libs

My version of net-snmp is 5.1.2

Methinks that there is a dependency for a net-snmp version...

[bluesin]

Ok...

I edited the configure file and replaced all occurences of --libdir with --libs and everything ran just fine...

[eran]

I did something simillar. The problem is that the --libdir parameter should actually be --lib-dir. I edited the m4/netsnmp.m4 file and changed the --libdir parameter there, then run the five commands Farzad listed earlier in this thread, then the configure scripr worked fine.

[BusteR81]

net-snmp library solution

_libnetsnmp_libdir="`$_libnetsnmp_config --libdir`"

ya i find the above sentence in configure and change to --libs

net-snmp complied successfully then...
