Building net-snmp-5.1 rpm from source

Hi All,

I am currently attempting to build a Linux/x86 rpm package
to be installed on a bunch of machines I administer.

So far, I have:

1.  A cvs sandbox of the main branch (in ~/src/nsnmp/net-snmp)
2.  The net-snmp-5.1.tar.gz source file copied into dist/rpm/SOURCES

>From there, I attempt to build a 'plain' rpm:

$ cd ~/src/nsnmp/net-snmp
$ cd dist
$ make RELEASE=1 WITH_PERL=0 EMBED_PERL=0

And from there, the actual compilation stage appears to complete
as expected.

Unfortunately (for me :), I have a problem when it comes to the 'install'
stage - rather than installing the files into rpm/BUILD, the build
process appears to be attempting to carry out a normal install (i.e.
it is trying to place includes into /usr/include, libs into /usr/lib etc.)

The output from the build at the start of the install stage is as follows:

+ umask 022
+ cd /<snip>/src/nsnmp/net-snmp/dist/rpm/BUILD
+ cd net-snmp-5.1
+ rm -rf /tmp/net-snmp-root
+ make DESTDIR=/tmp/net-snmp-root install
make[1]: Entering directory 
'/<snip>/src/nsnmp/net-snmp/dist/rpm/BUILD/net-snmp-5.1'
creating directory /usr/include/net-snmp/net-snmp
mkdir /usr/include/net-snmp
mkdir: cannot create directory `usr/include/net-snmp': Permission denied
...
<snip lots of similar errors>
...

The root of my problem would appear to be that the DESTDIR=<path> part
of the 'make ... install' line is being ignored.

My current suspicion is that the version of libtool (1.5) I have installed
on my system (a Suse 9.0 box) is causing problems with the build.

Has anyone else out there ran into similar issues?  How did you resolve them?

If you haven't had any issues building an rpm from the source - can I
ask which version of libtool / automake / autoconf you have installed?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Regards,

Garry C. Marshall
