The Open Source Router

[DigitalDuality]

CNN is running an article about the emergence of an OpenSource Router product, currently in Beta, that targets mid-size enterprise customers for about one-fifth the cost of current enterprise networking giants' hardware. From the article: The machine runs on two Intel chips, but far more noteworthy is its software, known as XORP, or extensible open router platform. The versatile open-source application can direct data traffic for a giant corporation as easily as it can manage a home Wi-Fi network.

Hello!!

I'm trying to install XORP with SNMP suport and I had problems!!!
When I run the configure file like:

# sudo ./configure --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl --with-snmp

The following error happens:

-------------------------------------------------------------
'net-snmp-config --cflags' gave invalid cflags!
-------------------------------------------------------------
configure: error: XORP MIBs will not be built
configure: error: ./configure failed for mibs

I know I need a built MIB to do SNMP probes, but according to the massage above XORP MIB's will not be built.

Somebody help me?

Thank you!
