Solaris 10 troubles with 1.8

[zabbli]

on Solaris 10 it is not possible to compile the version 1.8.x with --enable-static, it gives iconv.h not found, even it is there.
If it is compiled without static libraries, then it works but gives a high load on the agend itself >1% cpu, the version 1.6.2 is somewhere at 0.1% cpu.



I checked the 1.8 agentd and it does lots and lots of kstat request interval is somewhere at 1 second.

Memory consumption is not correct calculated, it takes memory (RAM) and SWAP space, not only RAM.

individual zones (Container) cannot be measured, only the whole physical box


please provide a solution to make it run even on Solaris 10 (zones)


compiling does still not work (1.8.2)

this compiling errors occur with gcc and sun studio compiler.


thats my simple command:
./configure --prefix=/opt/zabbix --enable-agent --enable-static

I had the same problem with 1.8.1. Wasn't an issue with 1.6.x.

1. I had to compile/install the opensource libiconv library (used version 1.12 since it was handy for me, but I built it in a slightly non-standard location and you could probably just use a pre-built package from sunfreeware.com).

2. Changed my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the new libiconv folder first.
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/libiconv/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

3. Added a compile option (still missing the iconv.h include for some reason) when running the configure:
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/libiconv/include" ./configure --prefix=....etc

Cheers.
