how to start/install Netsnmp on AIX?

tooj

Dear sirs:

I have downloaded the NetSnmp installation package from your website:
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/net-snmp.html

Our AIX version is 5.2 and with default snmp. it works fine.

I have downloaded the correspond package(both source and binary) and install to my AIX5.2 system.
It is success with no error.
But when I stop the AIX default snmp and try to start the netsnmp.
I get no error but the netsnmp can not be started.
(Before that I have use the /usr/local/bin/snmpconf to create a snmpd.conf and copy to /usr/local/share/snmp/
Attached please find the snmpd.conf.)


bash-2.05b# pwd
/usr/local/sbin
bash-2.05b# ./snmpd
bash-2.05b# ps -ef|grep snmp

And the snmpd is not started. check the /var/log/snmpd.log, there is no a error.

Do you any suggestion to how to slove it?
Any comments or link about that will be high appreciated!


thanks

The reason why it doesn't work is that PDSLIB has some problem with both the source and binary for AIX5.2 package.

Now I download a new packaged according to their instruction as following:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a problem with the source tar balls for AIX 5.2 and 5.3 on our
website. Until we replace them, if you need to download the source, please
download the source tar ball for AIX 5.1 or 4.3 as they contain the same
package.

If you are only installing the binaries, and are having problems with our
binary tar ball for AIX 5.2, please try installing the binary tar ball for
AIX 5.1 as that one has been tested to work on 5.2 also.

We apologize for the confusion. Please let us know if you have a
successful installation.


The PDSLIB staff.
