check_esx3.pl error

[Sbergonzi]

I was getting a perl error running this command, which led me to the yum install nagios perl. That led me to the VMware-vSphere-SDK-for-Perl-4.0.0-161974.x86_64.tar.gz install.

I am now getting the following error:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/perl5/auto/XML/LibXML/Common/Common.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr

Is it a versioning issue? Anything I can check?

thank you!

There may be, I would highly suggest installing the newest SDK available, as they work with older versions just fine. Also I would suggest following our documentation exactly as written, as this can be a tricky install if you do not.

ok thanks! I'll give it a go. Since it was a wizard already include with XI I was thinking all the components would be included.

I also found this on another site to correct the issue, hopefully there is some cross over with this and the doc provided.

Code: Select all

After installing the development tools and VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-4.1.0-254719.x86_64.tar, it runs like a charm.

Yes the were leading you on the right path, but due to vmware's licensing, we can't include the sdk with the XI install.

gotcha. I went through the install, good to go!

thank you -
