It's probably dynamically linked with the SNMP library; if so, to run
it, you'd either have to

	1) install the shared SNMP library on the destination system;

	2) build it on the destination system (in which case it should
	   run on the source system - but it'll lack SNMP support);

	3) hand-tweak the Makefile to statically link with the SNMP
	   library, and rebuild it on the system that has the SNMP
	   library (which would require that the system also have a
	   static version of the SNMP library).
