SNMP broken from 1.1.5 to 1.1.6

[kdurrant]

On v.1.1.5 with Centos Linux 4.4 i386 and net-snmp the source checks_snmp.c inside poller compiles and works fine.
With v.1.1.6 with Centos Linux 4.4 x64 checks_snmp.c always times out.
Checked the forum and commented out;
/*
#define NEW_APPROACH
*/
But still no luck with v.1.1.6 on Linux x64 and libraries.
Will test to see if v.1.1.6 works on i386 next.

Does anyone have any insight on if it is the x64 gcc libraries or zabbix versions?

Thanks

check_snmp.c is absolutely equal in 1.1.5 and 1.1.6, do a simple diff to see this.

After more testing, looks like the net-snmp-lib rpm is the issue. This is curious since snmp-get and snmp-walk work. It just seems that the library that all the SNMP is compiled around is suspect. Any suggestions about how to get the right net-snmp-library for (x86_64 or i386), so poller will not timeout when getting making snmp connections?

Thanks.

Got it to work!
For some reason yum for CentOS downloads both x86 and i386 libraries for net-snmp-libs and mysqlclient10. Here is how to compile zabbix for x64 systems under CentOS. Edit the configure.in file and modifiy the following;

elif test -f /usr/include/net-snmp-includes.h; then
SNMP_INCDIR=/usr/include
SNMP_LIBDIR=/usr/lib64 (changed from /usr/lib)

elif test -f /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h; then
MYSQL_INCDIR=/usr/include/mysql
MYSQL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib64/mysql (changed from /usr/lib)

Then run ./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp
Then run make and make install.

zabbix_server/poller/checks_snmp.c should compile without any mods and will x64 interoperable with x64 kernel.
