Michael You are trying to compile and install net-snmp, right ? In Ubuntu, you don't need to compile the snmp client, you can install the snmp client using "snmp" and "snmpd" packages.
If you really need to compile the agent, and already have libperl-dev package installed, the remaining procedure outlines are: 1. Unpack the tar.gz package from net-snmp site. 2. cd to unpackaged directory 3. run ./configure --with-perl-modules 4. make (don't need make clean or other cleanup routines if you are not working on client code). 5. make install (as root) The files will be installed in default dir: /usr/local 6. run snmpconf (see tutorials below in section "Application Configuration"). You can start the SNMP daemon by: /usr/local/sbin/snmpd When you reach this point email again with more doubts. Never forget the tutorial pages in: http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Tutorials Specially sections "Application Configuration" and "Net-SNMP Daemons".
