1.4.2 and solaris...

[hannibal20]

As usual, I have tried the brand new 'stable' release under solaris. Here is what I got:

1. ./configure --enable-server --with-net-snmp --with-ldap --with-libcurl --with-jabber --with-mysql found my curl, but then gave me this:
   

   checking for curl-config... /opt/csw/bin//curl-config
   checking for the version of libcurl... 7.16.2
   checking for libcurl >= version 7.13.1... yes
   checking for main in -lcurl... yes
   checking whether libcurl is usable... no
   configure: error: Not found Curl library

2. --with-libcurl=/path/to/curl-config didn't help either
3. so I've set LIBCURL_LIBS manually in configure script to what curl-config --libs gave me. It went further and stopped at
   

   checking for net-snmp-config... /opt/csw/bin//net-snmp-config
   checking for main in -lnetsnmp ... no
   configure: error: Not found NET-SNMP library

4. then I've set SNMP_LIBS to what net-snmp-config --libs gave me
5. after this ./configure finished with no error
6. I went to compilation, being sure I'll have to correct Makefile (as I have done before 1.4.2), to fix path to `ar` and some LIBS, but the compilation went smoothly (!)
7. happy with that I tried to run my new server, but the processes disappear as fast as they spawn...
8. I see no message in the debug (level 4) indicating something is wrong besides 'one child has died'
9. system trace:
   

   so_socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP, "", SOV_DEFAULT) = 3
   close(3) = 0
   sigaction(SIGPIPE, 0x080479D0, 0x00000000) = 0
   sigaction(SIGPIPE, 0x08047A20, 0x00000000) = 0

   open("etc/zabbix_server.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
   fstat64(3, 0x08047370) = 0

   sysconfig(_CONFIG_PAGESIZE) = 4096
   read(3, 0x080D876C, 3072) = 0

   close(3) = 0

   open64("/var/run/name_service_door", O_RDONLY) = 3
   fcntl(3, F_SETFD, 0x00000001) = 0
   door_info(3, 0xCDF9F3E0) = 0
   door_call(3, 0x08047808) = 0
   setgid(1) = 0
   setuid(102) = 0
   setegid(1) = 0
   seteuid(102) = 0
   schedctl() = 0xCD9FC000
   fork1() = 3764
   lwp_sigmask(SIG_SETMASK, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) = 0xFFBFFEFF [0x0000FFFF]
   _exit(0)

10. I suspected libcurl for the segfault, but recompiling zabbix_server w/o web monitoring via CURL didn't help

Any solutions?

Try this patch.

[hannibal20]

reverted my changes, applied the patch, made 'configure' step as in the first post:

...
checking for IKSEMEL... yes
checking for getaddrinfo... yes
checking for gawk... (cached) nawk
checking for curl-config... /opt/csw/bin//curl-config
checking for the version of libcurl... 7.16.2
checking for libcurl >= version 7.13.1... yes
checking for main in -lcurl... yes
checking whether libcurl is usable... no
configure: error: Not found Curl library

[Eugene]

Check your 'config.log', after line 'checking whether libcurl is usable' for more information of compilation errors.

I'm also trying to compile 1.4.2 on Solaris 10, and ran into the same problems with 'configure' as hannibal20. I applied the patch provided by Eugene, but that doesn't seem to help. I still get:

checking for curl-config... /opt/csw/bin/curl-config
checking for the version of libcurl... 7.16.3
checking for libcurl >= version 7.13.1... yes
checking for main in -lcurl... yes
checking whether libcurl is usable... no
configure: error: Not found Curl library

In config.log I get the following:

configure:10035: checking whether libcurl is usable
configure:10078: cc -o conftest -g -I/opt/csw/mysql5/include/mysql -mt -D_FORTEC_ -xarch=v8 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DHAVE_CURSES_H -DHAVE_RWLOCK_T -I/opt/csw/include conftest.c -lcurl -lkvm -lm -lresolv -lnsl -lkstat -lsocket >&5
ld: fatal: library -lcurl: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to conftest
configure:10084: $? = 1

To me it seems like "-L/opt/csw/lib" is missing in the above command. The output from /opt/csw/bin/curl-config --libs is:

-L/opt/csw/lib -lcurl -L/opt/csw/lib -L/opt/csw/lib -lidn -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lsocket -lnsl -lz

If I set LDFLAGS=-L/opt/csw/lib before I run configure, I manage to get pass the libcurl problem, but then configure exits on:

checking for curl-config... /opt/csw/bin/curl-config
checking for the version of libcurl... 7.16.3
checking for libcurl >= version 7.13.1... yes
checking for main in -lcurl... yes
checking whether libcurl is usable... yes
checking for curl_free... yes
checking for net-snmp-config... /opt/csw/bin/net-snmp-config
checking for main in -lnetsnmp ... no
configure: error: Not found NET-SNMP library

Solution

I encountered these exact same problems and found a solution.

After setting the LDFLAGS environment variable (LDFLAGS=-L/opt/csw/lib in my case), I edited the configure script:
(note: no other changes were made from the configure script source)

Change line 10543 from:

LIBS="-lnetsnmp $LIBS"

to

LIBS="-lnetsnmp -lssl -lcrypto $LIBS"

Stepping through the compiler I discovered that it encounters a series of undefined symbols (used for crypto algorithms). Including the other libraries above resolves the issue.

Build Information:
Solaris 10 x86 Update 4 (8/07 127112-02)
netsnmp 5.3.0.1
curl 7.16.3
postgresql 8.2.3
php 5.2.1
openssl 0.9.8
apache2 2.2.4

Configure options:
--enable-server --with-pgsql=<...> --with-net-snmp=<...> --with-libcurl

Running

export LDFLAGS="-lcrypt"

or

export LDFLAGS="-lcrypto"

may help when the configure script is enable to detect NET-SNMP libs.
