Hello

From 5.4 net-snmp is now default requiring perl, BUT that has been forgotten in the description in the INSTALL file for 5.4 and 5.4.1, i hope that this is already corrected in the next versions, but haven't checked..

See the release notes for 5.4:

 Important Changes:
    - The default configuration now enables embedded Perl and the Perl
      modules by default when possible unless explicitly disabled. You
      may use the --disable-embedded-perl and --without-perl-modules
      configure options, respectively, to revert to the former default
      configuration.

Good luck

Best regards

I am at the point where I am integrating the NetSNMP package into our system's build environment. I perform the "./configure" with the approriate compiler and linker options. After this completes, I perform a successful "make" as well. However, when the "make install" is performed I get a permissions error when it tries to install "perl":

I did not explicitly tell it to install perl in the configure command, so I am not sure why it is trying to install perl. Is Perl required to co-exist with NetSNMP for some reason? If so, why?


Here is the "./configure" command I am using:

./configure \
--prefix=/export/home/rosent1/vegasCCdriver/2.267/usr/local \
--srcdir=/export/home/rosent1/vegasCCdriver/2.267/buildsys/B173/ system/netsnmp \
--with-default-snmp-version="3" \
--with-sys-contact="contact" \
--with-sys-location="location" \
--with-logfile="/export/home/rosent1/vegasCCdriver/2.267/buildsys/ B173/system/netsnmp/var/log/snmpd.log" \ --with-persistent-directory="/export/home/rosent1/vegasCCdriver/ 2.267/buildsys/B173/system/netsnmp/var/net-snmp" \
--with-cc=$(CC) \
--with-linkcc=$(CC) \
--with-cflags=$(CFLAGS) \
--with-ldflags=$(LDFLAGS);


Here is the warning I receive when the "make install" is issued:

Warning: You do not have permissions to install into /usr/lib/perl5/ site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/ ExtUtils/Install.pm line 114.
