Zabbix agent not loading module libzbxpgsql.so

[zabbaix]

Hello,

operating system is AIX 7200-03-03-1914, zabbix agent version is 4.0.18, postgresql version is 11.5, libzbxpgsql version is 1.1.0, gcc version is 6.3.0.


I have compiled the module successfully using the following options:

export OBJECT_MODE=64
CC=/usr/bin/gcc CFLAGS=-maix64 LDFLAGS="-L/zabbix_postgres/postgresql-11.5/src/interfaces/libpq" CPPFLAGS="-I/zabbix_postgres/postgresql-11.5/src/interfaces/libpq -I/zabbix_postgres/postgresql-11.5/src/include" ./configure --with-postgresql=/zabbix_postgres/postgresql-11.5/src/bin/pg_config/pg_config --with-zabbix=/zabbix_postgres/zabbix-4.0.18


Everything looks alright after compilation:

#file /zabbix_postgres/libzbxpgsql-1.1.0/src/.libs/libzbxpgsql.so
/zabbix_postgres/libzbxpgsql-1.1.0/src/.libs/libzbxpgsql.so: 64-bit XCOFF executable or object module not stripped

#ldd /zabbix_postgres/libzbxpgsql-1.1.0/src/.libs/libzbxpgsql.so
/zabbix_postgres/libzbxpgsql-1.1.0/src/.libs/libzbxpgsql.so needs:
/opt/freeware/lib/libgcc_s.a(shr.o)
/usr/lib/libc.a(shr_64.o)
/zabbix_postgres/postgresql-11.5/src/interfaces/libpq/libpq.a(libpq.so.5)
/opt/freeware/lib/libconfig.a(libconfig.so.9)
/unix
/usr/lib/libcrypt.a(shr_64.o)
/usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5_64.o)


When I try to start zabbix agent, it does not start and I get the following errors in the log file:

Does anyone have any idea how to remedy this?

In any case, thank you for attention.

SIGILL is illegal instruction.

Either your zabbix_agentd or your libpq was compiled for a different architecture than what you're trying to run it on. Or, the version of gcc you used generated machine code for a different architecture than the one you're trying to run it on.

If you built this yourself, you may try using different gcc flags, telling it to assume an older or more generic architecture, to see if that makes a difference.

I'm a little confused why your *agent* is trying to link against database libraries. Typically, that's only needed for the zabbix server component. The agent shouldn't be trying to access your database.
