Summary: neither ipforwarding nor _ipforwarding on AIX 4.3.3

Initial Comment:
Hello,
I'm trying to make Net-SNMP running on a AIX 4.3.3 box.
Compilation works fine, but make test doesn't pass the first step.
Here are my compilation options : --prefix=/my/path/net-snmp-5.4.2.1-ibm-4.3.3.0 --enable-as-needed --disable-shared

If I run snmpd manually, it crashes with this error :
nlist err: neither ipforwarding nor _ipforwarding found.

Message:
ok, I've hashed out the reference to IP_FORWARDING_SYMBOL in mibII/ip.c :

    case IPFORWARDING:
/*
        if (!auto_nlist
            (IP_FORWARDING_SYMBOL, (char *) &ret_value,
sizeof(ret_value)))
            return -1;
        else
*/
            return (ret_value ? 1 /* GATEWAY */
                              : 2 /* HOST    */ );


But make test gives :
58: testing if snmpnetstat finds the running agent in udpTable... FAIL
59: testing full snmpwalk (SNMPv2c) against agent (may take time)... .FAIL
Summary: 57 / 59 succeeded.
make: The error code from the last command is 2.

Stop.
make: The error code from the last command is 2.

Stop.

Hello,
Thanks for the suggestion. I've modified aix.h :

"include/net-snmp/system/aix.h" 26 lines, 569 characters
#include <net-snmp/system/generic.h>
#include <sys/select.h>
#undef TOTAL_MEMORY_SYMBOL
#undef NPROC_SYMBOL
#undef RTHASHSIZE_SYMBOL
#undef RTHOST_SYMBOL
#undef RTNET_SYMBOL
#undef IP_FORWARDING_SYMBOL
<cut>

But afterward, during the make I got :

mibII/ip.c: In function `ip_load':
mibII/ip.c:912: `IP_FORWARDING_SYMBOL' undeclared (first use in this
function)
mibII/ip.c:912: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
mibII/ip.c:912: for each function it appears in.)
make: The error code from the last command is 1.

Any idea ?

Message:
Are you running snmpd as root?

If so, you may want to try adding "#undef IP_FORWARDING_SYMBOL" to
include/net-snmp/system/aix.h and recompile.
