How did you run 'configure' when compiling the code?
Did you specify a --prefix or not.
By default, the package will get installed under /usr/local.
If you specify a different prefix, then it will be installed there instead.
If you run
find /usr/local -name '*snmp*'
that should pick up most of the relevant files.
It'll miss a handful of man pages, and some binaries under /usr/local/bin,
but if you run
ls -ltr /usr/local/bin (and the same with /usr/local/man/man[1358])
these oddities should be obvious enough.
Make a list of all of these files, and then remove them.
rm $(cat /tmp/my_list_of_snmp_files)
Then check that there aren't any unexpected RPMs installed:
rpm -q -a | grep snmp
If there are, then remove those as well. (rpm -e).
At this point, your system should be free of any taint of SNMP.
So double-check this:
find / -name '*snmp*'
If this reports anything, then have a close look at these files,
and work out where they might have come from. Are they related
to Net-SNMP or not?
Don't just blindly remove *all* mention of SNMP from your system,
but do make sure you've got rid of any Net-SNMP related stuff.
(The file /tmp/my_list_of_snmp_files might comein useful here!)
Don't forget to check that there's nothing running either:
ps -ef | grep snmp
Then it should be safe to start again with a clean tarball,
and run your usual configure;make;make test; make install
