Because there's already an SNMP agent running.
Probably one provided by default as part of the O/S.
  (As I've suggested at least twice already)

Shut it down, before trying to start your version.

You've never actually said what O/S you are working
with, so we can't tell you exactly how to do this.
But on a Linux box, it would be something like

	/etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd stop

And for safety, I suggest you remove this version
altogether ("rpm -e net-snmp"), so that you *know*
you'll always be working with the new version.
