What does "go version" show? I am guessing you have a very old version if that "go install" command doesn't work.
However, there's no need at all for you to build snmp_exporter from source. Just download the pre-built binary package from https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/releases Probably the right one for you is https://github.com/prometheus/snmp_exporter/releases/download/v0.20.0/snmp_exporter-0.20.0.linux-amd64.tar.gz The thread you are replying to here is about building snmp generator, which is a different issue.
