Hanssen. I was willing to compile snmpd (snmppd-0.4.2) and I found exactly (step by step) the same problems described below. I had to install first ucd-snmp-4.2.6 and net-snmp-5.0.8 so when doing the ./configure I had to add the : --with-snmp=/path_to/net-snmp/include/net-snmp/library or even trying --with-snmp=/path_to/ucd-snmp/include/ucd-snmp/library Finally I got stuck at: ./configure --prefix /path_to/snmpd --with-snmp=/path_to/ucd-snmp/include I tried do include the LD_LIBRARY_PATH= /path_to/ucd-snmp/lib:/path_to/net-snmp/include/net-snmp/library:/path_to/ucd-snmp/include/ucd-snmp but it seemed not to work either. The error "cannot find -lsnmp" I guess it ment to be that gcc can't find the libsnmp.so, so I tried to find this library via "find -name "libsnmp*.so" -print" and I found out that inside /path_to/ucd-snmp/lib/libsnmp.so (softlink to libsnmp-0.4.2.6.so release) there was the source. I made a softlink like: ln -s /path_to/ucd-snmp/lib/libsnmp-0.4.2.6.so /usr/lib/libsnmp.so And filally make amnd make install went ok !!! Maybe the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is not working fine !
