unreachable

[windly]

I have set up server and a client successfully on sun machine. Now,I want to monitor a client so I tried to install zabbix client on linux enviroment. First time, the machine did not allow me to do "make" . I found a message on the web it says that I need to change snpritf.c. I changed that file. The machine allowed to do "make" I copied everything to the correct directory. but the host is unreachable. Could you help out? Thanks.
The make message:
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/zabbix-1.0/src/zabbix_agent'
gcc -o ../../bin/zabbix_agent -g -O2 -I../../include zabbix_agent.c sysinfo.c ../../include/log.c ../../include/cfg.c ../../include/security.c ../../include/snprintf.c -Wall -lnsl

The log file:

Greetings,

There are a couple of possible issues that I have seen do this;

1. You have an error in your zabbix_agentd.conf file.
2. You do not have a zabbix user and a zabbix group defined in your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.


The most common cause I have seen for #1 above is not putting the local host name into the configuration file. The conf file needs a line like the following;

Hostname=<Monitored Hosts Fully Qualified Domain Name>

Thanks.

I changed zabbix_agentd.conf file "server= my server IP"
I do have usr and group defined in my /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
./configure --prefix=/opt/zabbix

Disable monitoring of cksum[] as a workaround. This is known issue, the agent may crash while evaluating cksum[] on 64 bit platforms. It is already fixed in 1.1 alphas.
