64-bit build error

I haven't found anything in the docs about 32-bit vs. 64-bit. Am I not looking hard enough?

Same error....

Exact same error,

Workaround?

I have found that setting CFLAGS to include -m32 to allow the code to generate 32-bit rather than 64-bit code allows the program to compile:

export CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -m32"
before running configure.

Of course, I don't know how well the program runs in 32-bit mode in an OS capable of 64-bit memory addressing...especially since I need to monitor memory usage...

The question remains whether zabbix is 64-bit ready.

what are your configure options

and is mysql 32 bit or 64 bit version,
i have zabbix running on 64 bit solaris 9

Hey, try to get snprintf.c (just the file, nothing else) from the CVS. Use it with 1.0. I hope it will resolve compilation issues for 64 bit platforms.

And, yes, let me know if it works

I've yet to find a solution for this problem. I'm trying to run Zabbix on Gentoo Linux on an AMD32 proc, and running with CFLAGS including '-m32' doesn't work; I don't have the option of installing 32-bit emulation libraries.

Also, I've looked around the website (maybe I'm missing something obvious), but I don't see instructions for using your CVS repository there so I can get the aforementioned snprintf.c.
