Hi 1. I installed net-snmp 5.7.3 on Ubuntu 1704 (but the following problem was observed on many versions of Ubuntu like 1604, 1404) 2. Then I configure FRR3 with *--enable-snmp=agentx* switch! As i think, this switch is necessary for the purpose of accessing routing MIBs which must be responsed by zebra. 3. Now, I make FRR and see the following error make[2]: Entering directory '/home/theuser/frr/FRR3' CLIPPY ospfd/ospf_vty_clippy.c CLIPPY lib/plist_clippy.c CC lib/lib_libfrrsnmp_la-agentx.lo CC lib/lib_libfrrsnmp_la-smux.lo CC lib/lib_libfrrsnmp_la-snmp.lo CCLD lib/libfrrsnmp.la /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.a(scapi.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `usmHMACMD5AuthProtocol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Makefile:2379: *recipe for target 'lib/libfrrsnmp.la <http://libfrrsnmp.la>' failed* make[2]: *** [lib/libfrrsnmp.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/theuser/frr/FRR3' Makefile:3194: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/theuser/frr/FRR3' Makefile:1867: recipe for target 'all' failed Note that: If net-snmp was not installed, there was no error when making FRR, BUT a similar error was raised when trying to make net-snmp after frr !!! If i disable --enable-snmp=agentx there is no error! But the system will not respond to snmp requests that ask for routing information.
