It seems to work for me at work if I just run "./configure" with no SNMP
option (compiled from a CVS tree, Solaris 2.5.1, CMU SNMP library
installed from source); I have had some problems at home (compiled from
a CVS tree, FreeBSD 3.x/UCD SNMP library installed as a binary package,
as I remember) - I think the problem was that it somehow found the
headers but not the libraries, or something such as that.  I installed
the UCD SNMP from source, and the problems went away.

When I get home, I'll see if I can reconstruct the problem, and try to
figure out how to eliminate it.
