Your installation of Net-SNMP depends on libelf.  You
probably run Redhat;
libelf is part of Ulrich Drepper's elfutils.  On my
Fedora Core 1 system:

$ net-snmp-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -lnetsnmp -lcrypto -lelf -lm

Install the elfutils-devel RPM; the name may be
slightly different on non-Redhat
distributions.  If in fact you are not even using a
binary package distribution
of GNU/Linux, then please indicate the platform you
are using.

You could instead ./configure --without-net-snmp
--without-ucd-snmp and not
install elfutils-devel.

It is looking for libelf.a and/or libelf.so.
