Re: Installing SNMP with PHP

[Carlos A. B. O. <ca...@gm...>]

Hi Dave

Thanks again for your answer. The urpmi command installed the
php-snmp-4.3.4-3mdk for my box automatically. Inside this rpm are the next
components:

/etc/php/44_snmp.ini
/usr/lib/php/extensions/snmp.so
/usr/share/doc/php-snmp-4.3.4
/usr/share/doc/php-snmp-4.3.4/README

There is the file that you mentioned (44_snmp.ini) but in my distro
(mandrake 10) there isn't a folder called /php.d/ The file 44_snmp.ini
contains one single line that says only:

extension = snmp.so

And these are the files with ls /etc/php :

34_mysql.ini  44_snmp.ini

My main php.ini is located on the following path:

/usr/local/lib/php.ini

Configured with:

'./configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs'
'--with-mysql=/usr/local/lib/mysql/' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib/'

When I tried to recompile php (ver. php5.1.5) in order to install the
support for snmp, goes out the next error:

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
--with-mysql=/usr/local/lib/mysql/ --with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib/ --with-snmp

checking for SNMP support... yes
checking OpenSSL dir for SNMP... no
checking for net-snmp-config... no
configure: error: snmp.h not found. Check your SNMP installation.

I'm not sure for what I have to do. I don't know where to allocate the
snmp.ini or if I'm doing well the recomplie command. I'm totally lost with
this issue. So thanks in advanced if you can help me with some guidance.
