Re: question about intalling net-snmp

You're also more likely to receive a response if you're not
relying on just one person - who might well get distracted
with other (paid) work, and miss your query altogether - as
here!

You shouldn't need to install these packages from source.
There will be RedHat RPMs for these libraries.
   You would have been better off installing those.

But if a source install seems to work, then OK.

Hmmm....   sounds dodgy.
I'd definitely recommend using the RPMs.....

This feels like a confusion between 32-bit and 64-bit installations.
But I'm not sure why you are picking up the 64-bit perl settings.
Particularly if there's nothing under /usr/lib64/perl5


I'd probably suggest you start again with a clean tarball,
just in case you are picking up configuration left over from
a different system.

If that doesn't work, then I'm completely stumped.
