Description Dave Shield 2003-03-06 14:02:10 UTC

Description of problem:
Linking with '-lelf' fails due to the lack of a 'libelf.so' link

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libelf-0.8.2-2

How reproducible:
Very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Retrieve and unpack net-snmp tarball
2. ./configure --with-mib-modules=host
3. make
   [There are almost certainly simpler ways to
    reproduce this behaviour!]

Actual results:
gcc   .... -o snmpd ...... -lelf .....
/usr/bin/ld: Cannot find -lelf

Expected results:
Should compile the agent correctly

Additional info:
Fixed by
     ln -s libelf.so.0.8.2 /usr/lib/libelf.so

My guess is that you don't have libelf-devel installed.
