Excellent ...... looks like if I want to have NetSNMP install itself on our
build system into "/mybuild/system/directory/usr/local" when the "make install"
command is executed, but have the actual snmpd master agent and subagent run
from the "/usr/local" directory on our target hardware box, then I can use the
following configure options:
--prefix="/mybuild/system/directory/usr/local"
--with-install-prefix="/usr/local"
Thanks

That's not quite right.
The role of the "--prefix" flag is to specify where the Net-SNMP package
will be installed when the software is *run*. This path will get hard
coded into various bits of the library and applications.

Hint:
Try running "configure --help" and look for where this mentions:
a) prefix
and
b) install

Turn the question the other way round.
Ask if there's a way to install the software to a temporary intermediate
directory, before deploying it for real.
The hint immediately above may not be entirely irrelevant here....
