[AGENT++] Agent++ and SNMP++ Example problems (SNMP request timed out)

[Florian Butter]

Hi at all,

I´m new to Anent++ and SNMP++, so i tried to start with the Provided examples. Unfortunately i get always a SNMP Timeout (Failed to issue SNMP Get: (-5) SNMP++: SNMP request timed out) when i execute one of the SNMP++ Examples.

Here some background infos:

OS: Ubuntu 13.04 (Running in a VM - Host system is OS X Mavericks)
Agent++ v.4.0.2
SNMP++ v.3.3.4
libdes v.4.01a 20050119


Here my Procedure as details as possible: 

1. I extracted all tar packages to one folder, as recommended.
2. To reduce the complexity I deactivated the SNMPv3 support by setting

#if 0
#define _SNMPv3 1
…
in the File config_snmp_pp.h


3. Then I build the SNMP++ source, using the commands:

autoreconf -i —force
./configure
make install

(make install because when i tried to compile the Agent the make process about with a error „could not find libsnmp++“ in the usr/lib dir)


4. Afterwards I build the Agent, with nearly the same commands:

autoreconf -i —force
./configure
make

When i tried to build any of the Agent++ examples i got all the time the following message:
error while loading shared libraries: libsnmp++.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory".
I found the solution in a mail from the mailing list (http://lists.agentpp.org/pipermail/agentpp/2004-December/002718.html) so i added the line /usr/local/lib to the file /etc/ld.so.config and ran /sbin/ldconfig

Now I´m able to execute the examples but i´m facing the problem as described above.

I´m not sure if it´s relevant, but when i run any Agent++ example i get some errors:

The SNMP++ examples log errors too:
