Re: EPICS SNMP compile error

Hi Susheng,

I simply put your message in Gemini. Here is what (s)he says: https://gemini.google.com/share/35c39a4c649a

I did a quick built of EIPCS SNMP-1.1.0.5 against EPICS-7 and net-snmp-devel (1:5.8-32.el8_10) on RHEL-8 without any issues. I guess your version of net-snmp, which is a separate package from SNMP-1.1.0.5, is higher than 5.8.

[epics-snmp-1.1.0.5]$ net-snmp-config --version

5.8

You may modify your source codes upon Gemini's or ChatGPT's suggestions, then rebuild.

Cheers,

Yong

Dear John and EPICS specialist, 

I have the following errors while compiling the SNMP 1.1.0.5.  Could you please help me out? My EPICS version is V7.0.9. Thank you!
