Ahh!! Thank you, Dave!! I *suspected* that /var wasn't a logical place for a conf file, but I didn't know where else to look. In the old days, we put it in /etc, but I could see that this version wasn't looking there...
However, while putting it in the correct place (/usr/local/share/snmp in my case) has gotten rid of the warning message in snmpd.log, it hasn't affected the communication problem that I'm experiencing. Hopefully somebody has some ideas about that. In the meantime, I'm looking into the static build, which Thomas Anders gave me the link to; hopefully that will allow me to build on a faster machine (the so-called "working" machine is a 2.4Ghz P4, which is *alot* more fun to build on!!).
