Thanks for the steps. I did see the src.rpm but was unsure how to go about using it. I built 5.1.2 by hand and it's working - even the Perl code although you already knew that. :) Maybe I'll uninstall it and build the src.rpm.
Thanks for the pointers!

If you want to install without a RPM, you need to make sure you remove the existing RPM first, so you don't end up with two versions installed. Other packages will depend on the Net-SNMP RPMs, so you will have to specify --nodeps to get it to work. So, do something like this:
1) get the latest version of Net-SNMP 2) unpack it, run configure and make to build it 3) remove old RPMs
$ rpm --nodeps net-snmp net-snmp-util net-snmp-perl net-snmp-libs \ net-snmp-devel
Not all systems will have all these RPMs installed, so remove any that cause rpm to fail.
4) run make install to install the new version.
Alternatively, grab the latest Net-SNMP src.rpm, and then
$ rpmbuild --rebuild -with perl net-snmp-5.2.1.src.rpm
