Deian Lenny, zabbix 1.6.7 and snmp

[lyra]

Hi,

I´m trying to install zabbix 1.6.7 from sources on a debian linux system, but it seems that the configure script cannot detect the snmp libraries. I have snmp, snmpd and libsnmp-dev packages installed:

lenny:/usr/src/zabbix-1.6.7# dpkg -l | grep snmp
ii libsnmp-base 5.4.1~dfsg-12
ii libsnmp-dev 5.4.1~dfsg-12
ii libsnmp-perl 5.4.1~dfsg-12
ii libsnmp15 5.4.1~dfsg-12
ii snmp 5.4.1~dfsg-12
ii snmpd 5.4.1~dfsg-12

When I try the config script like this:

lenny:/usr/src/zabbix-1.6.7# ./configure --enable-server --enable-net-snmp --with-mysql --with-jabber

I get this output:

Configuration:

Detected OS: linux-gnu
Install path: /usr/local
Compilation arch: linux

Compiler: gcc
Compiler flags: -g -O2 -I/usr/include/mysql -DBIG_JOINS=1 -fPIC

Enable server: yes
With database: MySQL
WEB Monitoring via: cURL
Native Jabber: yes
SNMP: no
IPMI: no
Linker flags: -L/usr/lib/mysql -liksemel -lcurl
Libraries: -lm -lresolv -lmysqlclient -liksemel -lcurl

Enable proxy: no

Enable agent: no

LDAP support: no
IPv6 support: no

So... where´s the catch? Why "SNMP: no"?

[richlv]

check config.log for details why snmp detection fails

[lyra]

unfortunately the log doesnt provide much help...

lenny:/usr/src/zabbix-1.6.7# grep -i snmp config.log
$ ./configure --enable-server --enable-net-snmp --with-mysql --with-jabber
SNMP_CFLAGS=''
SNMP_CPPFLAGS=''
SNMP_LDFLAGS=''
SNMP_LIBS=''
_libnetsnmp_config='no'

there´s no check for snmp libraries like the ones used to check mysql or curl, like these:

configure:9961: checking for libcurl >= version 7.13.1
configure:9974: result: yes
configure:10085: checking for main in -lcurl
configure:10114: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/include/mysql -DBIG_JOINS=1 -fPIC -lc
url conftest.c -lcurl -lm -lresolv >&5

[richlv]

maybe pastebin full config.log, i suspect there might be a hint as to what's wrong

[Alexei]

Replace --enable-net-snmp with --with-net-snmp, it should help.

[richlv]

well, duh. i had a feeling i should check that
that probably means configure script rrrreally should fail when receiving unrecognised params

[lyra]

Shame on me... --with-net-snmp worked as expected
