I'm attempting to rebuild F9 php on a hacked-up CentOS 5 test machine, and I get a build failure with this error: configure: error: SNMP sanity check failed. Please check config.log for more information. error: Bad exit status from /home/mattdm/tmp/rpm-tmp.57048 (%build) I've got net-snmp-devel-5.3.1-19.el5_1.4 installed. Updating to net-snmp version 5.4.1 from Rawhide cures the problem.
If the latest package from rawhide cures your problem, can you be more specific what the bug is here? Thanks, John
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
From my point of view, the bug is "php requires net-snmp > 5.3 to build; spec file does not contain this information". It's possible that php or net-snmp could be patched to work around this, but that's apparently the state of upstream.
How does this fail with the latest 5.2.6 package? Can you attach the config.log & rpmbuild output? If a newer version of net-snmp were required at build time then I'd expect there to be a check in configure, but there isn't, so, it could either be something more subtle or it could be some problem in your "hacked-up" build environment.
It's building okay now on a newly-installed CentOS 5 + EPEL host, so either something has changed or my build environment was worse than I thought. I have no strong recollection of the details of the situation six months ago (an eternity!) so I'll just apologize for the noise.
