Geez, I kinda feel like I should mark this OT since it's just a problem
about Linux and my computer...

I'm trying to use a new MIB with ucd-snmp on Mandrake 9.0. I've started
doing some reading, whoever named this Simple Network Management
Protocol must have been thinking "Simple in comparision to building the
Golden Gate Bridge" or something.

Any way, it looks like the process is to use a series of tools which
compile the mib into C code and then turn it into a loadable module
which the snmpwalk and snmpd agents will then be able to access
transparently.

My problem is that the first tool in the chain, mib2c, dies with a
complaint that Perl-SNMP isn't there. But it is.
perl-Net-SNMP-4.0.2-1mdk
perl-SNMP-MIB-Compiler-0.06-3mdk (out of Cooker as the 9.0 version
refused to install because of a fubar'd dependencies statement; however
the code is still 0.06.)

I'm hesitant to start over from the latest source, which is of course
the recommendation to all problems at net-snmp.souceforge.net. Any
ideas?
