RE: install snmp module

You've covered a lot of ground here so I'll address (hopefully correctly
- I don't use nagios or perl with SNMP) one issue at a time.


>I want to install perl SNMP module on solaris 10 servers and I cannot
do that successfully by using
 
>perl -MCPAN -e shell
> install SNMP
 
>failed. 
 
>I do not know why.

I'm suspecting your system may be confused as to exactly which Perl
version you're supposed to be using.
 
>However why  i can seel /user/perl5/5.8.4/sun4-solaris-64int/SNMP.pm
there. does that mean SNMP module is installed by default?

I'm assuming you mean

/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/sun4-solaris-64int/SNMP.pm

and my default system doesn't have it.  It also means that your
installation may have worked.

>On the system, it has perl 5.8.4, maybe some perl 5.8.7

That's part of your problem.  Which perl is it actually looking at?

Type perl -v and see what it says.  Unless you've changed your path, you
installed it to the default 5.8.4, which may not be what you intended.

>I believe there is default net-snmp module under
/usr/sfw/bin/net-snmp-config which is 5.0.9 version

Yes, that's where Sun has installed net-snmp.
 
>my colleague install nagios , which contain net-snmp 5.3.1 and par t of
perl 5.8.8. 

I've looked through the nagios-2.9.tar file and found no evidence of
perl or net-snmp.  I think you need to talk to your colleagues and find
out exactly what they installed and where (and why).  If they installed
net-snmp 5.3.1, we need to know how it's configured.

net-snmp 5.3.1 is not certified to run on Solaris 10.  I'm in the
process of figuring out how to make that work I've gotten distracted by
other stuff eg. the binaries for 5.4.1.  One thing I am NOT doing (at
least for the binaries) is using embedded-perl, which may be required by
nagios.

How do you install part of perl?  
 
>Can I use the solaris default net-snmp ? how can I compile and install
my perl module successfully?
 

I think you already have but to a place you weren't expecting.  If
nagios is trying to use a version of perl is stuck someplace else, that
has to be in the PATH before /usr/bin, otherwise you'll end up using the
default perl, which nagios may not be expecting.
