Failed dependency by installing self made rpm package

Question

I'm trying to create an RPM (redhat) package to install nagios on a redhat system. Everything goes well but when I try to install the package I get

Failed dependencies:

perl (Net::SNMP) is needed by nagios-1-1.x86_64

I don't even know why it requires this, it doesn't look to be a necessary package to me. Anyone who had this problem before?

Here is the .spec

%define debug_package %{nil}
%define _prefix /usr/local/nagios

It sounds like you have a requires for perl in your spec file. When you post it we can have a look.

If you run sudo yum localinstall /path/to/your.rpm --nogpgcheck should resolve these dependencies for you in the installation.
