Raspberry Pi 3 - Compile Agent

[Tursiops]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile the NetXMS agent from source on a Raspberry Pi 3 (wouldn't mind just using a package instead ).
The following command line runs through ok:

sudo ./configure --with-agent --with-snmp --with-client --with-client-proxy

After that I run

make
make install

So far so good.

But when I want to actually run the agent (be it via nxagentd or sudo nxagentd, makes no difference), I receive this:

nxagentd: error while loading shared libraries: libappagent.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I ran ls -l /usr/local/lib/libappagent.* and got this:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff  1144 May  3 23:55 libappagent.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff    20 May  3 23:55 libappagent.so -> libappagent.so.2.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff    20 May  3 23:55 libappagent.so.2 -> libappagent.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 45432 May  3 23:55 libappagent.so.2.0.0

To me that looks ok. Not sure why nxagentd has a problem with this?
Any suggestions?

Here are compiled armhf packages.

That worked fine, thanks for the packages.
Now I just don't know what I did wrong with compiling from source?

[Tursiops]

Looks like the package didn't come with the SNMP proxy (or I've broken something else), so I guess I'm back to my issue with not being able to get the agent to run after compiling from source.

It works fine for me from those packages

What is not working for you?

Do you by chanche also have the server package?

Thank you for these, in the meanwhile

I can give you RPi server packages, but I really do NOT recommend running netxmsd on RPi.

Usually when running the server on RPi, you would use sqlite DB (since you will not have a full featured DB server available).
The NetXMS team has stated multiple times that they want to deprecate sqlite, and sqlite has quite a few known bugs.

Also, unless you have a very good SDHC Card (class 10+ with read/write of 40+ MBps), it will be painfully slow.

Thanks for this post I'm running an agent as a proxy in an off-site location running 2.1-M1. Looking to upgrade to 2.2.8 has anyone else already done this and can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

There is latest up-to-date Raspbian packages in the official NetXMS APT repo.

(This includes 2.2.8 for Raspbian Stretch, and armhf Ubuntu 18 pacakges)
