[Nagiosplug-help] Re: Problems compiling snmppd for use with nagios

[Gerard Delmás Camacho]

Hi,

I'm having exactly the same problem as Anders K. Hanssen.

I was willing to compile snmpd (snmppd-0.4.2) and I found exactly
(step by step) the same problems described below.

I had to install first ucd-snmp-4.2.6 and net-snmp-5.0.8 so when
doing the ./configure I had to add the :

--with-snmp=/path_to/net-snmp/include/net-snmp/library

or even trying

--with-snmp=/path_to/ucd-snmp/include/ucd-snmp/library

Finally I got stuck at:
./configure --prefix /path_to/snmpd --with-snmp=/path_to/ucd-snmp/include

I tried do include the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
/path_to/ucd-snmp/lib:/path_to/net-snmp/include/net-snmp/library:/path_to/uc
d-snmp/include/ucd-snmp

but it seemed not to work either.

The error "cannot find -lsnmp" I guess it ment to be that gcc can't
find the libsnmp.so, so I tried to find this library via "find -name
"libsnmp*.so" -print"
and I found out that inside /path_to/ucd-snmp/lib/libsnmp.so (softlink to
libsnmp-0.4.2.6.so release) there was the
source.

I made a softlink like:
ln -s /path_to/ucd-snmp/lib/libsnmp-0.4.2.6.so /usr/lib/libsnmp.so

And filally make amnd make install went ok !!!

Maybe the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is not working fine !
