Michael, why did you entered the perl subdirectory ? make command should be called from main net-snmp directory, created after tar.gz distro package unpack.
Don't need to cleanup (make clean) before calling 'make'. Other thing: don't remove manually any files. If you really want to remove Ubuntu snmp packages, use: apt-get remove --purge snmp snmpd (as root) PS: "make install" can be called repeated several times, it will overwrite the installation done before. "make uninstall" won't remove ubuntu package, just files created by "make install", but dont need to be used except if you plan to remove the compiled and installed snmp agent. These both calls have to be made as root. -Ricardo 2012/6/17, Michael Zimmers <[email protected]>: > Hi, Dave – > > Thanks for the reply.
