While trying to use Net::SNMP I have problems in this case:

1. Install module from CPAN

cpan> install Net::SNMP
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
Database was generated on Thu, 22 Mar 2007 17:08:51 GMT
Net::SNMP is up to date.

2. Test connection with perl script

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Net::SNMP;
use SNMP::MIB::Compiler;

my ($session, $error) = Net::SNMP->session
(
-hostname => $hostname,
-community => $community,
-port => $port
);

$sysUpTime ="1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0";
$result = $session ->get_request("$sysUpTime");
for $key (keys (%{$result})) {
print $result->{$key}, "\n";
}

#SNMP::MIB::Compiler I instulled before

3. While testing have a problem

"i-tel:/tmp# ./test_snmp_conectivity
Can't locate object method "session" via package "Net::SNMP" (perhaps you forgot to load "Net::SNMP"?) at ./test_snmp_conectivity line 17."

4. Trying to find SNMP.pm in the system, but there is only SNMP.pm -- Perl 5 interface to the Net-SNMP toolkit !!

5. Then I instull net-snmp-5.4 from source

./configure
make
make install


and try script

"Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i486-linux/auto/NetSNMP/default_store/default_store.so' for module NetSNMP::default_store:
libnetsnmp.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/i486-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 230.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./test_snmp_conectivity line 11."

6. Then make deinstall. It complete with errors.

7. Install module from cpan again. Сomplete successfully.

8. Try testing.

"Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i486-linux/auto/NetSNMP/default_store/default_store.so' for module NetSNMP::default_store:

Please, help me!! I use Slackware Linux. I have never use Linux before...

Jason,

Did you ever get a solution to this? If so, what was it? I am running into the exact same problem, and cannot find the answer anywhere.

TIA
