Installing Net-SNMP on Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

Hi all,

I am new to net-snmp and would greatly appreciate any help you guys can provide.
I'm working on Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, trying to install net-snmp in a Linux environment. I followed the instructions here<https://www.maketecheasier.com/net-snmp-part-1/>.
I installed all the required dependencies for net-snmp but when I try to run the make command, I get the following output at the end before it stops:

"
...

make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/c/Users/c_salem/Desktop/netsnmpinstall/net-snmp-5.7.3/mibs'

"
then I tried to run the make install command afterwards but it gave the following output:

"

"

Finally I run apt-get install snmpd, then  /etc/init.d/snmpd start but I get the following error:

"
* Starting SNMP services:
/usr/sbin/snmpd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/snmpd: undefined symbol: smux_listen_sd
"
I do realize that snmpd isn't running correctly because of a compilation error in the make command but I thought I try to see the result.
I tried to look up the error messages online and to look around in the directories but couldn't find a solution.

I know that what I'm trying to do might not be recommended but it would really help if I find a way to make it work.

Looking forward to your reply!
Thank you,
Chris
