Installation zabbix-2.0.0rc1

[zalloc]

Hi,
I had a problem during installation of zabbix-2.0.0rc1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 5).
I'm able to configure without error, but during make install I riceived the following error:

Making install in escalator

Any ideas?

Hi,

Did you make the configure and make install with root user ?

You have to do create a zabbix user but configure and make install has to be made with root user.
It looks like a permission issue.

Could you show your configure line please?

Seems the problem is your gcc (cpp) version. In 3.2 the directives within a macro were rejected:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Directives-Within-Macro-Arguments.html

Any chance to upgrade your compiler to a version 3.3 or higher?

Hi Dimir,
I had updated gcc package from previous version to gcc-3.3.4 and now make install work perfectly!
Thank u so much.
