Unable to compile agent with cURL support

[AndyCoates]

Hi,

We're running Zabbix Server 1.8.11 from Ubuntu 12.04 package, and we noticed Zabbix Agent (also 1.8.11) doesn't come with cURL support.

So I downloaded the source and checked online for compiling with cURL support. First I made sure the dev libraries were installed:

ii  libcurl3                             7.22.0-3ubuntu4.2            Multi-protocol file transfer library (OpenSSL)
ii  libcurl3:i386                        7.22.0-3ubuntu4.2            Multi-protocol file transfer library (OpenSSL)
ii  libcurl3-gnutls                      7.22.0-3ubuntu4.2            Multi-protocol file transfer library (GnuTLS)
ii  libcurl4-openssl-dev                 7.22.0-3ubuntu4.2            Development files and documentation for libcurl (OpenSSL)

I then tried to compile the agent (since it's doing the fetching) with:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-libcurl --enable-agent

This didn't pick up any of the curl libraries, and didn't even attempt to do find them. It seems it won't let you compile the agent alone with cURL, I had to configure with server too:

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

This time I got the output I wanted:

    WEB Monitoring via:    cURL
..
    Linker flags:          -rdynamic      -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu      -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu  -L/usr/lib  -L/usr/lib   
    Libraries:             -lm  -lresolv    -lmysqlclient       -lcurl  -lnetsnmp -lcrypto  -lnetsnmp -lcrypto

zabbix_server was linked against libcurl:

# ldd src/zabbix_server/zabbix_server
..
	libcurl.so.4 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4 (0x00007fbb653a3000)

But the agent isn't:

# ldd src/zabbix_agent/zabbix_agentd
	linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff411ff000)
	libresolv.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libresolv.so.2 (0x00007f67884de000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f678811f000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f678870a000)

What am I doing wrong?
