I though you said you'd installed the RedHat-provided version of Net-SNMP ? > - I've generated the binaries with "rpm -bb net-snmp.spec" 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. > So it seems that in 5.2.1.2 the net-snmp-utils is part of > the other modules. 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. > When trying to run mib2c I received that error message than, following > the instructions, I've installed the net-snmp-perlmods-5.2.1.2-1 > directly from the binary downloaded on the same net-snmp web page > (net-snmp-perlmods-5.2.1.2-1.i686.rpm since I didn't found the rpm > source of this module). 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) > Could this be caused by the fact that the binaries generated from the > net-snmp source package have all the extension *i386.rpm versus > net-snmp-perlmods-5.2.1.2-1.i686.rpm ? 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. > And another thing.
