cactid-0.86f-1 compile problem

[TheWitness]

looks like ./configure is finding ucd_snmp and not net_snmp. This version of Cactid does not know how to do snmpV3.

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I./config -I/usr/include/ucd-snmp -I/usr/include/ucd-snmp/.. -I/usr/include/mysql -g -O2 -c `test -f 'snmp.c' || echo './'`snmp.c

Thanks! For some strange reason the net-snmp tools was installed, but ucd-snmp libraries (!). A quick replacement with the net-snmp libraries and cactid compiled fine.

hi guys,

have tried recompiling the OSSL several times but cannot figure out how to
come up with crypto.so. Is this actually the dependency ossl lib that the cactid is looking for?

hi Larry,

I made the search for crypto.so, it seems the source compiled from Solaris does'nt create or compile it. The ossl libraries were installed under /usr/local/ssl/lib. Thanks.

$ ls /usr/local/ssl/lib
libcrypto.a libcrypto.so.0 libssl.a libssl.so.0 pkgconfig
libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.0.9.7 libssl.so libssl.so.0.9.7


Regards,

Shingouki

download source from:

http://www.openssl.org/source/

Then:

./configure
make
make install

It's actually libcrypto.so

hi,

at last was able to compile the latest cactid in Solaris, but now having problem. Instead of faster processing time compared to cmd.php, cactid is timing out and exceeding the max. 5 min polling mark. Please help. Thanks.

set logging to MEDIUM, cd to the cactid binary directory and run the following: "./cactid 0 15" and tell me what happens.

hi The Witness,

below was the run result , does that mean running the cactid in parallel with cmd.php, btw nothing significant registered in the cacti.log. Many thanks.

Please make your process count no higher than 2*number of cpus. According to your post, that would imply that you box has 50 CPU's

hi The Witness,

just did what u suggested but same thing, setting the concurrent process to
2 and 1 for CACTID (Version 0.8.6f), though when I tried compiling a lower version of cactid, specifically CACTID (Version 0.8.6e) I was able to run it manually. Btw, Im using a version 0.8.6f for the CACTI package.

Still the problem I got is timing out, but this time the manual invoke of cactid is fine but if the UI interface or the cron takes over its timing out the 5 minutes polling mark. Please advise if Im missing something. Many thanks.
