Guy,

Thanks for the input. Built from the source code and now it is working fine....

Thanks again,

Unfortunately, UCD SNMP 4.1.1 changed the binary interface to the UCD
SNMP library in a way that is binary *incompatible* with previous
versions; the RPM you loaded for Ethereal was built for an earlier
version of UCD SNMP.  Turning "snmp_set_full_objid()" from a subroutine
into a macro that calls another routine with specific arguments, rather
than turning it into a subroutine that calls said routine, was the
change in question.

Therefore, you will have to build Ethereal from source, unless
somebody's already done so on a system with UCD SNMP 4.1.1 - I don't
know whether anybody has.

To build from source, you will have to install the
"ucd-snmp-devel-4.1.1-2" RPM, and download the Ethereal source.
