    Problem adding Perl-SNMP module

    Posted by zubero on June 3, 2007 at 16:02

    Hello, again:

    I am trying to add another Perl module. It is the SNMP one. I have downloaded and installed the net-snmp-5.1.2-11.EL4.10 rpm, because it seems to contain the needed item net-snmp-config but, as you can see in the attached output, it continues giving an error.
    The Operating System is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux v.4 update 4 (over a VMWare machine).

    Could you help me with this module? Tell me if you need more info.

    Perls packets installed:
    [root@localhost pandora]# rpm -qa | grep perl
    perl-5.8.5-36.RHEL4
    perl-DBI-1.40-8
    perl-HTML-Tagset-3.03-30

    [root@localhost pandora]# rpm -qa | grep snmp
    net-snmp-libs-5.1.2-11.EL4.10
    net-snmp-5.1.2-11.EL4.10

    Info about the Perl-SNMP module (it seems not to be installed):

    You need to install net-snmp first (I can’t find net-snmp-config) at Makefile.PL line 109.
    Running make test
    Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won’t test
    Running make install
    Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won’t install

    Thanks in advance.

    What’s the error pandora’s complaining about? Missing SNMP.pm?

    Thanks for your quick answer, Manu.

    The error is:

    “You need to install net-snmp first (I can’t find net-snmp-config) at Makefile.PL line 109.”

    It seems not to be possible to add the Perl-SNMP module. Regarding the output, net-snmp-config is missing, but it belongs to the net-snmp previously installed.

    Did you already install the RPM or on the other hand it happens when you’re about installing it?

    I previously installed the rpm (perl-5.8.5-36.RHEL4). The problem appeared in the adding of the module.

    I meant the pandora RPM

    What’s the output Pandora Server shows to you when trying to boot it?

    Absolutely normal:

    Put this http://mansss.no-ip.org/~manu/SNMP.pm

    In one of the directories perl is looking for it and it should work out ok
    If Net/Ping/ is not there, create it using mkdir and put that .pm inside
    Try again, then

    As I said, in some of the directories perl showed you, like for instance:
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/Net/Ping

    This is not actually the best and more polite way to make it works, but it does works when there’s no rpm available 🙂

    I have take a look into the file pandora_network.pl and I have found this:

    use Date::Manip; # Needed to manipulate DateTime formats of input, output and compare
    use Time::Local; # DateTime basic manipulation
    use Net::Ping::External qw(ping); # For ICMP conectivity
    use Net::Ping; # For ICMP latency
    use Time::HiRes; # For high precission timedate functions (Net::Ping)
    use IO::Socket; # For TCP/UDP access
    use SNMP; # For SNMP access (libnet-snmp-perl package!

    The last line, may this problem be related to it? It is, could I download this rpm and try installing it as a way for solving this issue?

    Actually not, the problem is the SNMP.pm is missing.
    The file you took from my server is the one shipped with the perl-net-snmp RPM so it should work as long as you put it on the right place

    Good night:

    Thank you for your help, Manu but… Could you activate that URL or send me the .pm file again? Once I downloaded it, I accidentally deleted it from the system.

    Cheers.
