Installing Net::SNMP

**ivan17** · September 30th, 2013

I was trying to use the check_ifoperstatus, but have the folowing error

root@mpnagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# ./check_ifoperstatus -h
Can't locate Net/SNMP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/nagios/libexec /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./check_ifoperstatus line 40.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./check_ifoperstatus line 40.
root@mpnagios:/usr/local/nagios/libexec#

And that line is use Net::SNMP;

Im trying to install Net::SNMP on Ubuntu Server 12.04 with the following command:

Code:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::SNMP'

Also i was trying this

"cpan> install Net::SNMP" and "install Bundle::CPAN"
And have the following errors:

It would be preferable to install from Ubuntu's package repository, if the package is at all available there in the right version. Mixing repository and non-repository packages tends not to end very well.

The package I think you are looking for is libnet-snmp-perl

Is that the right version for you? You should be able to get it with apt-get or Synaptic or the Software Center.

Nop that not helping too. But after searching through the net i found the solution that works for me, i suppose that this problem is on the New Ubuntu Server 12.04.3 version LTS with the perl default installation. Im not sure about that but thats how i think it is. And here it is the solution ...

1.) mv /root/.cpan /root/.cpanbackup
2.) perl -MCPAN -e shell
3.) cpan > install Bundle::CPAN

and that it is all i hope we can close and sorry that i open this error post but i really need fast help

What error message did you get when you tried to install libnet-snmp-perl? It should give you Net::SNMP

Code:

$ perl  -e 'use Net::SNMP;'
Can't locate Net/SNMP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at -e line 1.

I get that both on 13.10-beta and 12.04.3 Server. Even the manual page gets installed.
