Try to explicitly set LDFLAGS='-lssh2' before executing configure script.

P.S. It seems you need libssh2 version 1.0 or later. Check http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14536

Hi,

Thanks for pointing to the problem, when I install libssh2 1.x now it's evrything ok.

libssh2

Hi,
can you write what package exactly you installed - I stuck on this at all.

Thanks.

Hi, we solved this as follows.................

Unfortunately, we need >1.0 of libssh2 to do SSH checking, and this is not yet in the main Ubuntu repo's (for Ubuntu 9.04), see:
* http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libssh2

You can see what you have by entering:

Code:

dpkg -l | grep libssh2

Will see something like:

Code:

ii  libssh2-1         0.18-1     SSH2 client-side library
ii  libssh2-1-dev     0.18-1     SSH2 client-side library (development header

Go ahead and uninstall the (old version):

Code:

apt-get remove libssh2-1-dev

Now we will install from source (http://www.libssh2.org/). By default, it will install to /usr/local, but we will place it in a specific directory that we will advise (only) the Zabbix configure script of (i.e. we are putting in a weird dir, so that no other app/package will see the files and get confused).

Code:

cd /usr/src
mkdir libssh2
cd libssh2
wget http://www.libssh2.org/download/libssh2-1.2.3.tar.gz
tar xzj libssh2-1.2.3.tar.gz
cd libssh2-1.2.3
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/libssh2_zabbix
make
make check
make install

This will build and install libssh2 into /usr/local/libssh2_zabbix/bin and /usr/local/libssh2_zabbix/include

When you get to configure/compile zabbix, enter this flag:

Code:

--with-ssh2=/usr/local/libssh2_zabbix

Good to go!

its working

Thanks for fast answer,
that solution works - as You already now

Second problem is option --with-curl && --with-ssh2 on Debian Lenny

Lib dependency exclude that combination

Thanks again.

For compiling zabbix on Debian Lenny with both options just compile libcurl by yourself as you already did with libssh2.

I did it like this:
1. Download latest version from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html
2. unpack the tarball
3. configure curl like this (I took almost the same options as the Debian package uses -> no IPv6)

Code:

./configure --with-ca-path=/etc/ssl/certs --enable-ldaps --with-lber-lib=lber --enable-manual --enable-versioned-symbols --with-libssh2=/usr/local/lib/

4.

Code:

make && make install

5. configure zabbix again (your options may differ):

Code:

./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-libcurl --with-net-snmp --with-ldap --with-openipmi --with-ssh2=/usr/local --with-jabber

6.

Code:

make

=> compiles without errors

Debian lenny zabbix 1.8

Thanks for answer,
yep I was suppose that steps for curl build are similar.

I have a question - this non standard libs are needed only when we make binary ? Or we will need that lib on target system (i want use the same binary on others system - Debian leeny)

Second question what distro you guys using for zabbix ?

Ps.
Soory for my eng.

Well, with the options I configured zabbix the libraries are linked dynamically. This means you need this self-compiled libraries on the other systems as well.

You can check if the binary loads libraries dynamically:

Code:

# ldd /usr/local/sbin/zabbix_server 
	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7ef8000)
	libiksemel.so.3 => /usr/lib/libiksemel.so.3 (0xb7ee6000)

	liblber-2.4.so.2 => /usr/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2 (0xb77c8000)
	libgnutls.so.26 => /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.26 (0xb772a000)
	libidn.so.11 => /usr/lib/libidn.so.11 (0xb76f9000)
	librt.so.1 => /lib/i686/cmov/librt.so.1 (0xb76f0000)
	libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so.0.9.8 (0xb76a9000)

	libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2 (0xb7678000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb765f000)
	libOpenIPMIutils.so.0 => /usr/lib/libOpenIPMIutils.so.0 (0xb7658000)
	libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7626000)
	libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/i686/cmov/libcrypt.so.1 (0xb75f3000)
	libnsl.so.1 => /lib/i686/cmov/libnsl.so.1 (0xb75da000)
	/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7ef9000)

	libgcrypt.so.11 => /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11 (0xb755e000)

But there is the option --enable-static which should do what you want. There is one caveat: in case a library has security issues and needs an update you have to recompile and distribute the zabbix binaries to all your systems. If you don't compile statically you can update your system (i.e. via apt) and then just reload the daemons which use that library.

In case you want to do it the Debian way, you can create your own Debian package or maybe you'll even find the new zabbix version in testing (and recompile that).

We are using our self-compiled zabbix (1.8.1) on Debian Lenny.
