Description Rob Crittenden 2007-02-13 21:32:22 UTC
net-snmp config returns -L/usr/lib/lib for some of the compile and link options.

Not a show-stopper in itself but it may point to a deeper problem.

$ net-snmp-config --external-libs
-lcrypto -lm -L/usr/lib/lib -lwrap

I assume it should be -L/usr/lib and not -L/usr/lib/lib

$ net-snmp-config --agent-libs
-L/usr/lib -lnetsnmpmibs -lnetsnmpagent -lnetsnmphelpers -lnetsnmp -ldl -lz
-lcrypto -lm -lsensors -L/usr/lib/lib -lwrap -Wl,-E
-Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE -L/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a
-L/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE -lperl -lresolv -lnsl -ldl
-lm -lcrypt -lutil -lpthread -lc

Also includes -L/usr/lib/lib

Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2007-02-14 21:06:16 UTC
--agent-libs also includes -lsensors, so net-snmp-devel should pull in
lm_sensors-devel on appropriate architectures, some more discussion in bug 228555

Comment 2 Rob Crittenden 2007-02-27 14:32:56 UTC
This isn't about lm_sensors or FDS. 

This is about a package setting a link search directory to a (likely)
non-existent location, /usr/lib/lib. While this is a seemingly minor thing it
may point to a deeper issue with the RPM.

Comment 3 Radek Vokál 2007-02-27 15:09:04 UTC
ehm, have you even checked the latest net-snmp package? I guess not. 

./net-snmp-config --external-libs
-lcrypto -lm -lcrypto -L/usr/lib -lwrap

fixed

Comment 4 Rob Crittenden 2007-02-27 15:37:46 UTC
I assume that by latest you mean the version in devel/FC7. In fact no, I didn't,
why would I? This is filed against FC6 where the bug still exists.

To be more precise, this is net-snmp-devel-5.3.1-12.fc6. This seems to be the
most recent version for FC6, at least according to
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/

And please drop the attitude. Don't discourage people from submitting bugs by
being rude.

"It is fixed in devel/FC7 and we are not backporting" is an acceptable answer.

and that's what RAWHIDE says.
