Compiling 2.0.1 agent from source under linux

[jeefoo]

Hi all,

Used OS's: fedora 17 64bit, centos 6.2 64 and i686.

I would like to compile zabbix agent from zabbix-2.0.1 source.

If I run ./configure --enable-agent the things goes well, and it end with a successful compilation.

I need to build with static libraries, so if I run

./configure --enable-agent --enable-static I get the following error:

checking for file /proc/net/dev... yes
checking for long long format... no
checking for -rdynamic linking option... yes
checking for ICONV support... configure: error: Unable to find iconv.h "no"

Even I try to compile as a user or root the result is the same.

The missing iconv.h file is exist in /usr/include

I tried to set LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/include, but it not helped.

What did I wrong? - Thanks for your reply:

and if you run this before compiling:
export path=/usr/include:$PATH
?

Hi all,
checking for ICONV support... configure: error: Unable to find iconv.h "no"

look at the file config.log which should contains the failed test

Was not sure why modifying $PATH would help....but I gave it a try:

[root@box1 zabbix-2.0.1]# find /usr/include/ -name iconv.h
/usr/include/iconv.h

[zabbix@box1 zabbix-2.0.1]$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/zabbix/bin:/usr/include

It failed with same error. Config.log says

conftest.c:11:28: error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
/

Compiling agent without --enable-static works well
I'm using RHEL 6.3 (2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64)

do you have libiconv-devel installed ? (or something close)

[rohit]

nope...i dont have libiconv-devel installed

[dakol]

nope...i dont have libiconv-devel installed

on Redhat 5 update 5:
$ rpm -qf /usr/include/iconv.h
glibc-headers-2.5-76

try install it

[rohit]

I already have it.

[root@box1 ~]# rpm -qf /usr/include/iconv.h
glibc-headers-2.12-1.80.el6.x86_64
[root@box1 ~]#

Have you try to install "glibc-static" ?

Installing "glibc-static" with #yum install glibc-static seems to have fixed it for me, thank you.
