emerge for net-snmp-5.7.2.rc1 fails with python errors During the build, the following error occurs; however, the build continues. make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.7.2_rc1/work/net-snmp-5.7.2.rc1/perl' Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 2, in <module> from setuptools import setup, Extension, find_packages ImportError: No module named setuptools make: *** [pythonmodules] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... A short time later the build quits with no further diagnostics output, only: make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.7.2_rc1/work/net-snmp-5.7.2.rc1/perl' * ERROR: net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.7.2_rc1 failed (compile phase): * emake failed python 3.2 is installed, as is the setuptools module for it, so I assume that the ebuild is trying to use an earlier version of python for which this module is not installed. The file /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.7.2/work/net-snmp-5.7.2/python/setup.py isn't compatible with python 3 since it calls methods of the string module (find, split) which were removed in python 3. If I fix these errors and and run make in the build root, I get a series of link errors apparently associated with MySQL libraries: libtool: link: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -DNETSNMP_ENABLE_IPV6 -fno-strict-aliasing -march=nocona -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -Ulinux -Dlinux=linux -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/x86_64-linux/CORE -o .libs/snmptrapd .libs/snmptrapd.o -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -rdynamic -Wl,-E ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so -L/usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/x86_64-linux/CORE /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.7.2/work/net-snmp-5.7.2/agent/.libs/libnetsnmpmibs.so ../agent/.libs/libnetsnmpmibs.so /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.7.2/work/net-snmp-5.7.2/agent/.libs/libnetsnmpagent.so -lsensors ../agent/.libs/libnetsnmpagent.so /var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.7.2/work/net-snmp-5.7.2/snmplib/.libs/libnetsnmp.so -lwrap -lperl -ldl -lutil -lc ../snmplib/.libs/libnetsnmp.so -lrt -L/usr/lib64/mysql /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so -L/usr/lib64/ -L/usr//lib64 -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lssl -lcrypto -lm -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/lib64/mysql ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_stmt_error' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `load_defaults' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_insert_id' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_server_end' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_commit' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `my_init' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_init' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_close' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_real_connect' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `my_progname' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_error' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_stmt_execute' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_stmt_bind_param' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_sqlstate' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_stmt_errno' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_autocommit' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_errno' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_stmt_sqlstate' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_stmt_close' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_stmt_init' ./.libs/libnetsnmptrapd.so: undefined reference to `mysql_stmt_prepare' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [snmptrapd] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.7.2/work/net-snmp-5.7.2/apps' make: *** [subdirs] Error 1 MySQL is installed at version 5.1.66.
