[Snmptt-developer] problems with RHEL5/Perl 5.8.8

[Mark S. <Mar...@hp...>]

I just did a brand new install of net-snmp-5.4.1.tar.gz  and 
snmptt_1.2.tgz on a rhel5.1 system.  When I try to start snmptt, I get 
the following error:

[root@cag-dl585-01 net-snmp-5.4.1]# service snmptt start
Starting snmptt: Config file /usr/local/etc/snmp/snmptt.ini loaded

'/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/NetSNMP/default_store/default_store.so'

Could not load the Perl module SNMP!  If net_snmp_perl_enable is
enabled then the SNMP module is required.  Please see snmptt.html
for system requirements.  Note:  SNMPTT uses the Net-SNMP package's
SNMP module, NOT the CPAN Net::SNMP module!

However, SNMP.pm is there.  It sounds like the message is saying it 
can't find libnetsnmp.so but it is:

[root@cag-dl585-01 net-snmp-5.4.1]# find / | grep netsnmp.so
/usr/local/net-snmp-5.4.1/snmplib/.libs/libnetsnmp.so.15
/usr/local/net-snmp-5.4.1/snmplib/.libs/libnetsnmp.so.15.1.0
/usr/local/net-snmp-5.4.1/snmplib/.libs/libnetsnmp.so
/usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so.15
/usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so.15.1.0
/usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so
/usr/lib64/libnetsnmp.so.10
/usr/lib64/libnetsnmp.so.10.0.1
/usr/lib/libnetsnmp.so.10
/usr/lib/libnetsnmp.so.10.0.1

I created symlinks to libnetsnmp.so.15  in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 (just 
to be safe) and it did manage to start.  Is this a problem with the 
installation on libnetsnmp?
