EDIT DETAILS: As per one comment i tried installing mysql-devel i.e. yum install mysql-devel but i got below error:

Error: Package: mysql-devel-5.1.69-1.el6_4.x86_64 (updates)
           Requires: mysql = 5.1.69-1.el6_4

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Can somebody please help me in getting rid of the situation. Thanks.

EDIT details: Below are the things which i find when i do fire the command: ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/

EDIT details: At last the issue got solved and many thanks to Michael Tabolsky and Joao Figueiredo. :

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo

and found out that remi repo was disabled. Then edited it through

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo.

changed enabled=0 to enabled=1. Then did a yum install mysql-devel and it worked.

Answer 1

Your problem is not in installing zabbix, but in compiling it. You are missing the mysql headers. yum install mysql-devel However, I really don't know why you try to compile. Also the old version. For el distros (RHEL, CentOS, Scientific) use the EPEL repo, it has the 2.0 there. Edit: link to EPEL repo as requested, follow the instructions for your distribution: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL then yum list zabbix2* andinstall what you need.

and your sql files are here

rpm -ql zabbix-server-mysql-2.0.5-1.el6.x86_64 | grep create
/usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.0.5/create
/usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.0.5/create/data.sql
/usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.0.5/create/images.sql
/usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.0.5/create/schema.sql

Answer 2

Trying, your way overcomplicating.

Why would you try to compile such an obsolete version? The last time I've compiled 1.8 was about an year ago.

Though you don't specify your distro, you can follow up from here,
