RE: Problems with SNMP::Util

Hi Dave,

Thanks for responding to my queries, and pardon me if i had been too naggy. I don't mean to be.

I have 2 servers installed with the same version of net-snmp and SNMP-Util. I will named the working server as "GoodServerA", and the problematic server as "BadServerB".

Please my replies inline.

Thanks.
Cheeyong (CY)

How did you install 5.0.3.1? From source or a binary distribution?
If from source, how did you run configure, and how *exactly* did you
install the software?
In particular, how did you install the perl module?

CY> I compiled 5.0.3.1 right from the source. Below is what i have done:

wget net-snmp tarball
tar zxvf tarball
cd source directory
../configure --with-perl-modules
make
make install

As for the SNMP-Util, i downloaded the source from CPAN, and i followed the instructions from the README file:

- perl Makefile.PL
- make
- make test (had some problems, see below)

Is this correct?
Can you locate the file 'SNMP.pm'? Where is it? What is the version
number? (listed at the top of the file)


CY> There seems to be many SNMP.pm on the BadServer, how can i rectify the problem of having different SNMP version. I tried to rename some of the SNMP.pm, but doesn't seems to help.

# find / -name SNMP.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/SNMP.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/SNMP.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/SNMP.pm

# grep VERSION /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/SNMP.pm
$VERSION = '4.2.0'; # current release version number

# grep VERSION /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/SNMP.pm
$VERSION = '4.2.0'; # current release version number

# grep VERSION /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/SNMP.pm
$VERSION = '5.3.0.1'; # current release version number

# grep VERSION /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Net/SNMP.pm
our $VERSION = v5.2.0;


GoodServerA seems to have only 2 SNMP.pm in the library path:

# find / -name SNMP.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/SNMP.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Net/SNMP.pm
/usr/local/src/net-snmp-5.3.0.1/perl/SNMP/SNMP.pm
/usr/local/src/net-snmp-5.3.0.1/perl/blib/lib/SNMP.pm
/usr/local/src/Net-SNMP-5.2.0/lib/Net/SNMP.pm
/usr/local/src/Net-SNMP-5.2.0/blib/lib/Net/SNMP.pm


# grep VERSION /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/SNMP.pm
$VERSION = '5.3.0.1'; # current release version number

# grep VERSION /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Net/SNMP.pm
our $VERSION = v5.2.0;


Hope the above information will be of some help. Thanks.

I'll leave that to the Sun experts, but it doesn't sound particularly
safe. The general impression that I've got is that you shouldn't try
and mix binaries from different Solaris releases. If you're running
Solaris 8, then the first step is probably to install a Solaris 8
version of perl.
But I'll leave the Solaris people to comment further on that possibility

Appreciate if you could show a little patience (more than just one day
- over the weekend at that!) before starting to nag. Thanks very much.
