But installing net-snmp doesn't create a libsnmp.so.5.x.y either does
it? There are no libsnmp* libraries created at all, only libnetsnmp*
ones (except for Windows).
OK, I could 'ln -s libnetsnmp.so libsnmp.so' (which is what I suspect
RedHat and SuSe do) but really the HPLIP configure script should look
for the right thing.
