SNMPD issue: pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci

[fraschizzato]

I've tried to install SNMPD using apt but during installation and on service start/restart I receive always that error: "pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci". The daemon is not running (googling I've found that someone reported the service runs even the error appears). Following the two answers at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9470 ... oc-bus-pci I've tried to compile (with modification and/or both patch) net-snmp-5.7.1 - 5.7.2 and 5.7.3 but without success: the error is gone but the service is still not running, even if started manually (On service start I did not receive any response). Here the steps I've made (maybe there's something wrong):
unzip net-snmp source
./configure
patch < "patch.file"
make
make install
sudo /etc/init.d/snmpd restart -or- sudo service snmpd restart
(both without response or error)
and using
ps -A | grep snmpd -or- sudo service snmpd status
i did not receive any response:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo service snmpd restart
pi@raspberrypi ~ $

Hope someone can help to get it work

There's no such thing as a PCI bus on a raspberry (that's an Intel X86_64 thing). So you're going to need to find a configuration for snmpd that works for an ARM processor.

It's probably better to install a ready built daemon rather than trying to configure and build your own.

If you specify the IPv4 address of the Pi's interface in the following line in

Code: Select all

/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

, then stock SNMPD will start:

For example:

Code: Select all

agentAddress udp:10.0.1.4:161,udp6:[::1]:161

My guess is that without an address SNMPD tries to find all possible network interfaces, including PCI ones.

Hello,

it looks like the PCI error is normal, the answer helped me.
