I have app-arch/rpm-5.0_beta1 installed.  Tried re-emerging that and nothing
changed.

It looks to me like rpm-5's headers are renamed: 
equery f rpm | grep include
/usr/include

This make sense because rpm-5 is not backwards compatible with rpm-4, which is
what net-snmp was build for.

I suggest downgrading to rpm-4.4.x until someone (maybe me) patches net-snmp
for new rpm.

I am also affected by this bug -- adding myself to CC list...

There's a patch to fix net-snmp compilation against rpm-5.1.4 at

    http://rpm5.org/community/rpm-devel/2982.html

Future versions of net-snmp will likely avoid -lrpm so that the issue
does not reappear again and again and again.

It appears that the patch was stripped from the e-mail posting.

The patch for net-snmp to build against rpm-5.1.4 is at

    http://wraptastic.org/pub/jbj/rpm514.patch

as well. Sorry for the erroneous link.

Thanks for the patch Jeff.

I can't get the patch to apply to net-snmp :(. I tried with 5.4.1.1, 5.4.1, and
5.4 :(. 

I removed the front net-snmp-5.4/ in the patch.

Here is the command that portage is trying to run:

patch -p0 -g0 -E --no-backup-if-mismatch <
/usr/local/portage/net-analyzer/net-snmp/files/net-snmp-5.4-rpm5.patch

Could you point me at a reference tarball? I'll rebase the patch so
that it apples directly to the reference tarball. I don't run Gentoo
is the difficulty for me.

Thanks.

I've rebased the patch against this reference tarball

    http://gentoolabs.com.ar/distfiles/net-snmp-5.4.1.1.tar.gz

The rebased patch is at

    http://wraptastic.org/pub/jbj/rpm514-netsnmp-5.4.1.1.patch

Note that you also will need to do

    CPPFLAGS=/usr/include/rpm

before running configure.

The patch applied with no problems, but I'm stuck on another problem:

The attached config.log should probably be enough. I'm going to continue
working this today.

Hmmm, rpmRC seems to be the failure in

configure:29523: checking rpm/rpmlib.h usability
configure:29540: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c  -O2 -march=athlon64 -pipe -Ulinux
-Dlinux=linux -I /usr/include/rpm  conftest.c >&5

/usr/include/rpm/rpmlib.h:282: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or
'__attribute__' before 'rpmInstallSourcePackage'
configure:29546: $? = 1

rpmRC is defined in rpmio.h, which should have been included automagically by
<rpmlib.h>

Make sure you have
   CPPFLAGS=/usr/include/rpm
defined before running the net-snmp configure. The issue is that rpmlib.h
includes files with out the rpm/ prefix, augmenting CPPFLAGS tells where
the net-snmp configure tests should look for othe includes.

(In reply to comment #10)
> Make sure you have
>    CPPFLAGS=/usr/include/rpm

If I get CPPFLAGS to exactly that I get a nasty:

checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I get it to CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/include/rpm"

CPPFLAGS does appear to get set to the above as it shows up all over the place
in config.log :(. Perhaps its some bug on a gentoo system? I'm going to try to
setup a chroot with a non-gentoo toolchain so that I can make sure.

net-snmp-5.4.1.1-r1.ebuild.patch

In case any Gentoo user wants to test this out on their systems: Create
net-snmp-5.4.1.1-r1.ebuild in your overlay and put the patch into your files
directory and try to compile against rpm-5.1.4 ebuild which you can find here:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223481 (just apply the patch to
rpm-5.0.3 ebuild)
