I looked in "/usr/local/lib" and see the symbolic links now, however, I
discovered after I copy these library files from "/usr/local/lib" into my
target hardware box directory location then the symbolic links disappear and
each file size becomes a real file with a real file size. This means the "so",
"so.15" and "so.15.0.0" files all have the same large filesize. This is why I
never saw the symbolic links before. I guess I will need to copy the main
"so.15.0.0" file first (to our target system) and then create the symbolic link
for the "so" and "so.15" files?
As for the ".a" files ........ once the master agent and subagent are on the
hardware box they will simply be processing SNMP requests. There will not be
any compilation stuff going on in the hardware box. As a result, I do nto
believe I need the ".a" file .....
As for the ".la" files ...... will I know right away whether I "need" them or
not? I mean if the master agent and subagent can be started with no errors,
then can I assume the ".la" files are not required?

You will also note that two of these (so, so.15) are simply symbolic links to
the third (so.15.0.0), and that one of the others is basically just a text file.
You are really only talking about two libraries - the .a (static) library and
the .so (shared) version.
The static library is only ever needed when compiling SNMP-based
applications. If you're only running commands on your target box
(not compiling them), then you won't need the .a files.
I'm not certain, but I don't think you would need the .la files either.
Suck it and see.
But I'd keep all three versions of the .so files - the overhead of the
symbolic links is only 20-30 bytes each!
