RE: mib2c

Hi Dave,

I've patched net-snmp.spec at the top with
%define _with_perl_modules 1
I've compiles everything, the net-snmp-perlmods-5.2.1.2-1.i386.rpm was
generated, then I've installed it and it works now.

Thanks so much,
Eugen

I though you said you'd installed the RedHat-provided version
of Net-SNMP ?

The perl modules aren't built by default - you need to explicitly
request that they be include ("-with perl_modules").  See the
head of the net-snmp.spec file.

Not quite - this is a difference between RedHat packaging
and our arrangements, not the version of Net-SNMP.
The RedHat RPMs distinguish between the setup required for
just running the agent ("net-snmp"), and for using the
command-line tools ("net-snmp-utils").  We don't - our
"net-snmp" RPM covers both.

Hmmmm.....
The problem with that particular RPM is that it doesn't specify
which O/S it was built against.  You may have better luck using
one of the O/S-specific perlmods RPMs (rh9, fc2, fc4 or el4)

Sort of - it's more likely to be the O/S assumptions of that particular
RPM don't match your system.  That's why the other (i386) RPMs each
specify which O/S they were built on.
  We'll need to ensure that the i686 version requirements are made
clearer in the future.

No - the mib2c tool (and supporting directories) is part of the
main 'net-snmp' RPM, not the 'net-snmp-perlmods' RPM.
It *requires* the perl modules, but it isn't part of them.

Try
    rpm -ql net-snmp | grep mib2c
