Nut upsuser - Aug 2005 - Re: Problems compiling snmp-ups on Solaris

Hello Kim,

First, I've forwarded your mail to the nut user mailing list.
Thanks to register there (https://alioth.debian.org/mail/?group_id=30602)
and we'll follow on the thread on it.

I don't see the net-snmp libs in the above link step (should be "...
-L/usr/lib -lnetsnmp -lm -lwrap")

what gives you a "net-snmp-config --version" and where net-snmp
is installed? I think the libs wasn't found, or at list the net-snmp-config
which gives back the necessary compile/link info...

Check in your config.log (search for snmp):
...
checking for Net-SNMP libs
result: -L/usr/lib -lnetsnmp -lm -lwrap
...
