Problems installing Zabbix 1.1 on Fedora Core 5

[jojo]

Hi, i'm pretty new to using zabbix and i just downloaded the latest version to install it on my fedora core 5 test machine.

I unzipped the archive using tar zxvf zabbix-1.1.tar.gz

i also installed the following support packages using yum (Not necessarily in the following order):
yum install net-snmp-devel
yum install mysql-devel
yum install mysql-server
yum install mysql

i've used ./configure --prefix=/zabbix --enable-static --enable-server --enable-agent --with-net-snmp --with-mysql

which gives me:
Configuration:

Detected OS: linux-gnu
Install path: /zabbix
Compiler: gcc
Compiler flags: -static -g -O2
Linker flags:
Compilation arch: linux

Enable server: yes
With database: MySQL

Enable agent: yes

************************************************** *********
* Now run 'make' *
* *
* Thank you for using ZABBIX! *
* <http://www.zabbix.com> *

so then i run make and i get a whole lot of errors.. not good.

i know i've done something wrong... i just can't figure out where i've gone wrong

[xaitax]

Which versions auf glibc are running?

# rpm -qa | grep "glibc"

And please use code-Tags for further posting of shell-output!

- xai

[jojo]

glibc-common-2.4-4
glibc-kernheaders-3.0-5.2
glibc-headers-2.4-4
glibc-2.4-4
glibc-devel-2.4-4

[xaitax]

Please perform an update. Actual RPM-Versions on FC5 are 2.4-8.

# yum install glibc-common glibc-headers glibc glibc-devel

After, please tell if problem still exists.

[jojo]

yep still getting the same error... with the updated stuff

i noticed from another topic about compiling staticly that some people have been adding /usr/lib/libresolv.a
to the Makefiles for zabbix_agent and zabbix_server etc. I had to do the same to those two files.

[ProTON]

Works here like a charm on FC5. Maybe you have some 3rd party libraries on the system?

[anakemak]

i also have the same problem as what jojo is having currently. As i follow the install.txt, everything is running fine until i found that i don't have this /etc/inetd.conf file and starting from that point i'm stuck coz i also don't have /etc/zabbix folder there's a few *.conf file that should be configure is not available after the installation. Please give some advice or anything to solve this problem

Yep, i'm begining to think that's the problem... we have a kickstart machine for FC4, FC5, centos, RH etc.

Perhaps i need to do a clean install from the CD's.... if we have any that is

[jojo]

ok... i moved it back to a FC4 setup. and it installs ok. so it's working..

but now i'm trying to build an RPM for it.. and i keep getting this error:

+ STATUS=0
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ cd zabbix-1.1beta2
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.81730: line 29: cd: zabbix-1.1beta2: No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.81730 (%prep)


RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.81730 (%prep)

[jojo]

i got it to keep going by changing in the %prep section

%prep
setup -q

to

%prep
setup -q -n

and now it can't find ./configure
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.30776: line 27: ./configure: No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.30776 (%build)


RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.30776 (%build)






i'm glad i've gotten a different error now tho.. was getting sick of the old one

but now i'm trying to build an RPM for it.. and i keep getting this error:

RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.81730 (%prep)

I found out why it wasn't compiling properly. The reason why; i was building the package in /tmp/zabbix-1.1beta2/ and when i'd go to build the package, RPM would look for the zabbix-1.1beta2 folder in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD when in fact, tar would unzip it to /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/tmp/zabbix-1.1beta2.

once i fixed that by moving the package from /tmp/zabbix to /zabbix it would compile ok.

Now i'm just fixing up the spec file and it should be ready.

Still can't compile with the --enable-static flag though, that keeps giving me errors.

EDIT: oh yeh, i had to get rid of the -n from %setup -q -n cos that was causing an error once i fixed the above
