    Zebbix Installation Problem with Debian

    Hi,

    I'm in search of some help with a problem I'm having while trying to install Zebbix on Debian 4.0.

    I have followed all the instructions from here: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/zabbix.htm

    But when I run the following command I get the error shown below:

    # apt-get install zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-server zabbix-agent

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies.
    zabbix-server: Depends: libmysqlclient12 but it is not installable
    Depends: libsnmp5 (>= 5.1) but it is not installable
    E: Broken packages


    I then tried the following two commands and got the following output errors.

    # apt-get install libsnmp5

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    Package libsnmp5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    E: Package libsnmp5 has no installation candidate


    &

    # apt-get install libmysqlclient12

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    Package libmysqlclient12 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    E: Package libmysqlclient12 has no installation candidate



    I would be very greatful for any help. I'm very very new to linux/unix and really want to get this up and running. I first tried getting it working on one of our many spare Solaris boxes but struggled and found Debian a lot easier so far until now.

    Regards

    Mark

    i think currently libmysqlclient15 and libsnmp10 are being used.
    see if they are installed.

      Have u run "aptitude update" before that ?

      Run it, if all ur debian sources are ok, juste try "aptitude install -f " with mysql & snmp libs

        Hi guys,

        Thanks for you help with this, I managed to get it work last night.

        I did a fresh OS install and then followed one of the other wiki's and its now up and running, just need to play with the product now see what it can do and try and get my head around it.

        The wiki I used was : http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/doku.php?...ch_from_source

        Cheers

        Mark
