RE: compiling net-snmp 5.5 on AIX 6.1 fails

I solved my problem:
./configure --without-kmem-usage --enable-static --enable-shared --prefix=/opt/freeware/net-snmp --with-default-snmp-version="3" --with-sys-location="Almere" --with-sys-contact="[email protected]" --with-persistent-directory="/etc/snmp" --with-logfile="/var/log/snmpd.log" --with-openssl --with-pic
gave the message below:

configure: WARNING: libperfstat.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: libperfstat.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: libperfstat.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: libperfstat.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: libperfstat.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result

configure: WARNING:     ## ---------------------------------------------------- ##

configure: WARNING:     ## ---------------------------------------------------- ##

found patch: 2886598 which stated to add #include <sys/protosw.h> to all files which include libperfstat.h before the include of libperfstat.h

added: #include <sys/protosw.h> to the following files:

agent/mibgroup/hardware/cpu/cpu_perfstat.c
agent/mibgroup/hardware/memory/memory_aix.c
agent/mibgroup/host/hr_storage.c
agent/mibgroup/mibII/icmp.c
agent/mibgroup/mibII/ip.c
agent/mibgroup/mibII/tcp.c
agent/mibgroup/mibII/udp.c
agent/mibgroup/ucd-snmp/diskio.c
agent/mibgroup/ucd-snmp/loadave.c
agent/mibgroup/ucd-snmp/memory_aix4.c

One question remains though, how do I generate an rpm out of this???

William,

I have had successful compilations on AIX 5.1 and 5.3 with 5.5.  What
is the configure line you used and gcc version?

... snip...

I recognize this one.  I just had a machine moved from AIX 5.3 to 6.1, and a simple
./configure; make resulted in these errors.

In _my_ case I had to have the guy _also_ install a newer version of the gcc toolchain
because the old one points to 'old' copies of .h files rather than the 'new' ones that
know how to resolve these symbols.

Also don't forget to use the patches described in
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2886598&group_id=12694&atid=312694


I searched the patch database for AIX & 6
to get the title 'patch that allows net-snmp 5.4.2.1 to compile on AIX 6.1'
