From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: While trying to compile php 4.3.2, it would fail in configure when testing the snmp library. This was entered in bugzilla #103388 against php. The problem is php's configure tests the static snmp library which requires the libelf.a library. The static libelf library is kept in libelf-devel. Therefore, anyone that has netsnmp-devel installed also must have libelf-devel installed or static compilations may fail. The maintainer of php said I should open this bug report so that net-snmp-devel can get the libelf-devel requirement added to the spec file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): net-snmp-devel-5.0.6-17 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -ivh php-4.3.2-2.src.rpm 2. rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPEC/php.spec Actual Results: The rpm build fails in sanity check of snmp. Expected Results: Php successfully compiled. Additional info: This issue is also in the RH 8.0 library. All libraries need updating in case a security issue causes everyone to upgrade packages.
This bug is still present in Fedora Core Beta 2.
Fixed in net-snmp-5.0.9-2 and later. Read ya, Phil
