I am trying to install SNMP package in SUSE Linux enterprise server 11. I downloaded net-snmp-5.6.1-3.3.x86_64.rpm and installed with the below command

UKGBDCESRPL048:/opt/packages # rpm -ivh --nodeps net-snmp-5.6.1-3.3.x86_64.rpm

warning: net-snmp-5.6.1-3.3.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID 3dbdc284

Updating /etc/sysconfig/net-snmp...

But when I try to start snmpd service, I am getting an error below:

UKGBDCESRPL048:/opt/packages # /etc/init.d/snmpd start
Starting snmpd/usr/sbin/snmpd: error while loading shared libraries: libnetsnmpagent.so.25: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/snmpd: 127

Please help me to properly install SNMP package.

Why are you trying to install the RPM with --nodeps? This breaks your RPM dependencies! Please remove the package again and try to install it without that option. This should fail with a list of additionally required RPM's.

You'll have to install them, too. BTW, I'm sure that at least the RPM libsnmp15 is missing, because libnetsnmpagent.so.25 is in there.

You could also configure SLES to use one or more (online) repositories after registering your machine with a license key. After that, a simple

zypper in net-snmp

should solve all dependencies automatically.

One more thing: net-snmp-5.6.1-3.3.x86_64.rpm doesn't seem to be a valid SLES 11 package. Latest version (even SP4) is 5.4.2.1-8.12.24.1. Where did you get the RPM from? Just wondering...
