Installing net-snmp agent on RHEL4

Hi folks,

 

I'm a total newbie with linux, my background is with Microsoft so yes I
can play a great game of patience :-).

 

I'm having trouble with installing net-snmp agent onto my RedHat
Enterprise Linux 4 server.

 

Here's what I've done...

 

Installed RHEL4 with defaults

Copied "net-snmp-5.3.1.tar.gz" onto the "Desktop" of "Root"

Tar -zxvf net-snmp-5.3.1.tar.gz

./configure

Make

make install (as root)

 

now when I try to configure the agent by typing "snmpconf" I get "bash:
snmpconf: command not found"

If I try to run "service snmpd start" I get "snmpd: unrecognised
service"

If I do "ps -ef | grep snmp" nothing is returned

In the services window within the gnome gui there is no snmpd service

 

I think snmpd isn't installed on the box. 

Does net-snmp rely on snmpd? 

If the answer is yes then how do I install snmpd?

 

I have searched the web for the answer to this for a while now, you
folks are my last hope.

 

Thanks a lot.
