cactid compile can't find net-snmp

cacti 0.8.2a
RH 9
netsnmp5.0.8

running cactid ./configure gives me:

Cannot find NET-SNMP libraries(snmp)... checking UCD-SNMP
checking for snmp_timeout in -lsnmp... no
configure: error: Cannot find UCD-SNMP libraries(snmp)

Meaningful entries in /etc/ld.so.conf are:

/usr/lib/mysql
/usr/local/lib

Any ideas?

if I can get cactid to compile, I'm hoping it will help with timeouts when polling routers with 2500+ interfaces.

Thanks.

Do you have the 'net-snmp-devel' package installed?

Need some help with compiling cactid on RedHat 9. Have compiled the apache web server, php and mysql, net-snmp from source. Cacti works great, but I am at a lost has how to get / install net-snmp-devel source. I can only find rpms packages.

httpd-2.0.47.tar.gz
php-4.3.3.tar.gz
mysql-standard-4.0.15-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz
net-snmp-5.0.9.tar.gz

When i type ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-snmp=/usr/local/net-snmp/include

I get the following error

Cannot find NET-SNMP libraries(snmp)... checking UCD-SNMP
checking for snmp_timeout in -lsnmp... no
configure: error: Cannot find UCD-SNMP libraries(snmp)

Same problem.

checking if UCD-SNMP needs crypto support... no
checking if Net-SNMP needs crypto support... yes
checking for snmp_timeout in -lnetsnmp... no
Cannot find NET-SNMP libraries(snmp)... checking UCD-SNMP
checking for snmp_timeout in -lsnmp... no
configure: error: Cannot find UCD-SNMP libraries(snmp)

./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql --with-snmp=/usr/local/include/net-snmp/

Any ideas?

Sparc, sol9 with net-snmp v5.4 compiled from sources.

--with-snmp=/usr/local has done the trick.

First, there's a typo in your line "--with-snmp". What's the output of "rpm -qa|grep snmp"?
