Zabbix on AIX - Did anybody manage to compile zabbix_proxy?

[Stefan_D]

Hallo,

I am stuck with compiling zabbix_proxy for AIX. We definetly need to use proxies in our
environment. I have set up an AIX 6.1 instance with all the gnu tools needed to compile packages (from perzl.org).

I have tried both version 2.2.10 and 2.4.6.

Allthough the agent compiles successfully the proxy part throws the same error:

Did anybody succeed with compiling the proxy part?

Cheers!

Hallo,

I am stuck with compiling zabbix_proxy for AIX.

No, you stuck on lining binaries and you are dealing wit symbol clash between libraries.
ld it is not a compiler. It is linker.

[Stefan_D]

Well by "compiling" I mean the whole process of building the binaries.
Of course it's the linker. ;-)

Do you have some advise on how to proceed from here? I even tried to link
it towards a self-compiled version of libiconv. No success so far :-(

./configure --enable-proxy --enable-agent --with-sqlite3 --with-iconv-include=/usr/local/include --with-iconv=/usr/local


Yesterday I switched to xlC. But I am now stuck with other errors.

:-(

Hi

Just a follow up to my own post and similar errors. Please check

https://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?p=172494#post172494

before further reading.

In the meantime I have created an sqlite database and installed zabbix_proxy to /opt/zabbix. So far so good. But I am not able to start zabbix_proxy!
I have enabled debug output which gives something like this in the log file:

So I opened it with truss to check what's wrong:

Which is ugly, because a

gives me

Does anybody have an idea?
