Ubuntu and Fedora pass different configure arguments that will result in the functionality in libnetsnmpmibs that will certainly be different per OS. Not only that, you could very much consider --enable-ipv6 to have the exact same problem. If one OS includes it and another doesn't then you'll end up with different APIs in the libraries with the same version number. I'd argue that any linux distribution that enables the minimalist support needs to be talked to, as they're not thinking clearly. It's not a feature set that would ever be turned on for larger systems. Generally the linux distributions try and turn on as much as possible, not as little as possible. -- Wes Hardaker Please mail all replies to net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
