Net-SNMP… Again!

This seems to be the 10th time I need to install net-snmp from the downloaded tarball… and it seems that I had all the problems I had the previous 9 times before!

Some tips to avoid problems the next time:

  • read the ./configure –help carefully, and please deactivate perl if not needed by using –disable-embedded-perl
  • use more net-snmp-config (and use –help for reference - read carefully)
    • for example, to list the libraries needed to link a subagent use net-snmp-config –agent-libs

…more on snmp development coming soon (if it doesn’t it’s because all went well!)
