iconv.h error on configuring zabbix 1.8 agent on hp-ux 11.23

[radon]

os hp-ux 11.23

trying to configure agent using option below.

./configure --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --prefix=/usr/local/zabbix

Error:
checking for ICONV support... configure: error: Unable to find iconv.h "no"

# find / -name iconv.h
/opt/gnome/include/iconv.h
/opt/gtk2.6/include/iconv.h
/usr/include/iconv.h
/usr/local/include/iconv.h

Anyone knows why? Thanks.

If you're only compiling the agent you should not need the --with-mysql line.

I've found that I can compile with Oracle and all of the libraries are found properly. If I try to compile for mysql almost ALL of my libraries fail to be found, from net-snmp to libcurl. If I "disable" those and try to compile --without them then I see the iconv.h problem. Again, I see no problems whatsoever when compiling for Oracle, only when I try to compile for mysql.

Since you're compiling an agent, try without the mysql part and see what happens.

I have already tried just using --enable-agent before posting here. It is the same.

On RHEL 5, I do not have any problem. Only on HP-UX, I am facing this issue.

I have the same problem when doing "./configure --enable-agent --enable-static" on Solaris 9.

I have the same problem on HPUX 11.23 IA64

I have tried this with all of the iconv.h-path. But every time it comes the same error.
Have someone a solution for me?

Hi,

i have the same Problem on Solaris10, the Server compiles very well but if i only wanna compile the Agent with the --enable-static function i get an error that iconv.h wouldn't be found.
The File exists in /usr/incluce /usr/local/include /usr/lib /usr/local/lib and it is the GNU Version from Sunfreeware and not the Solaris internal.

Help would be nice

Same here

Solaris 10 (x86)

I can't compile neither the server or the client. (I also tried with just --enable-client) :

./configure --enable-server --enable-client --with-net-snmp --with-libcurl --with-mysql

[...]
checking for net-snmp-config... /usr/sfw/bin/net-snmp-config
checking for main in -lnetsnmp ... yes
checking for localname in struct snmp_session... no
checking for ICONV support... configure: error: Unable to find iconv.h "no"

# find / -name iconv.h
/usr/include/iconv.h
/usr/local/include/iconv.h
/usr/local/include/freetype2/iconv.h
/opt/coolstack/include/iconv.h

I tried to modify the script "configure" to bypass some tests about this lib but the makefiles made this way are not good either.

I also tried with the previous 1.8.0 version and got the same result.

Help please !

Solaris 10 SPARC

-bash-3.00# find /usr -name iconv.h
/usr/include/iconv.h
/usr/local/include/iconv.h

using the pre-zabbix-1.8.2.x-10833.tar file from nightly build the error still exists.
./configure --enable-agent --prefix=/usr/local/zabbix

If you look at the following code though both tests succeed on this system but the second test changes the found_iconv to no when it should be yes having succeeded. This incorrect value causes the configure to end later on.

I have tried manually changing this but it then failed for me at the make stage.

Has a bug already been logged by the reporters above?

found_iconv="no"

{ echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking for ICONV support" >&5
echo $ECHO_N "checking for ICONV support... $ECHO_C" >&6; }

if test -f /usr/include/iconv.h; then
found_iconv="yes"
elif test -f /usr/local/include/iconv.h; then
ICONV_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
ICONV_LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
found_iconv="yes"
else
found_iconv="no"
{ echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: no" >&5
echo "${ECHO_T}no" >&6; }
fi

if test "x$found_iconv" = "xyes"; then
am_save_CFLAGS="$CFLAGS"
am_save_LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS"

CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $ICONV_CFLAGS"
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS $ICONV_LDFLAGS"
#### This line seems incorrect
found_iconv="no"


If I change this manually and run make install it fails at:

I could successfully complie zabbix 1.8.2 agent and server on Solaris 10 SPARC with gcc. I installed the CSKlibsbundle package from coolstack, and did everything with LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/coolstack/lib". This way, I used the iconv from coolstack, it works. You will need an amp stack for zabbix anyway.

Hi Im trying to cross compile on ubuntu for openwrt and im getting the same message exactly.

iconv.h is in /usr/include where it looks first

I do also have an iconv.h in the toolchain for cross compiling. I dont understand the failure as it is in the place it looks for.

Any ideas

i also have the issues on sorlaris ,any have idea?

[kii]

i make it

wget ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freewa...-1.13.1.tar.gz
./configure
make
make install
./configure --enable-agent --prefix /opt/zabbix
no problem

I came across this problem compiling zabbix agent on Solaris 10 10/09 i386. Configure script is confused by two versions of iconv.h.
I just renamed /usr/include/iconv.h to /usr/include/_iconv.h.
Then configure script finds iconv.h in /usr/local/include (correct one) and finishes successfully.
After build I renamed it back. It is not elegant approach , but it it works, though..

same problem on aix and hpux

I have the exact same problem when trying to compile on hpux 11iv2 and aix 5.3 with zabbix versions 1.8.5,6,7,8,9 and 1.9.8

I tried rename iconv.h but same problem.

seems there is an error in the configure script. I was able to bypass it by manually editing the configure script to stop checking for iconv and just assume its there.
