Thanks dwelch for your advice (and thanks also Aaron A and Eberhard R for your words):

Stop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (And sure enough that is a dependency listed in the local Makefile.) Note that i configured with --disable-network-build, as before. So, per Eberhard, i guess i really do have to install net-snmp and net-snmp-devel ----- and then i can try it again. Maybe this is exactly what you (dwelch) meant, anyway? (And thanks Aaron for your caution re python. I might install a later version of python for use by the printing software, but i can't upgrade the system globally from redhat 7.3 because it has too much accumulated software.) Thanks again everybody. dan ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
