snmptt.service fails to start

[btgnrw]

Hi,

When attempting to restart the snmptt.service it fails with the following error:

[root@HOSTNAME username]# systemctl status snmptt.service -l

If you're running CentOS/RHEL.

Try this command.

Code: Select all

yum install net-snmp-perl

Let us know if that worked for you.

We are running RHEL 7.4

Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager

No package net-snmp-perl available.

It appears that the net-snmp-5.7.3.tar.gz wasn't available in any of the listed repos.

By following the install instructions at http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/readmefiles.html


So I did:
cd /tmp
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/net-sn ... 7.3.tar.gz
tar xzf net-snmp-5.7.3.tar.gz
./configure
make
make install

systemctl restart snmptt.service
systemctl status snmptt.service

snmptt service is now running
