Damn.

The UCD SNMP library is installed as "libsnmp.so.0", but without a
"libsnmp.so" link to it; I'll have to see if there's any way to beat out
of the run-time linker the full name of the library - wiring in
"libsnmp.so.0" won't do very well if the major version number gets
increased to make it "libsnmp.so.1".

I suspect it'd work if you make "/usr/lib/libsnmp.so" a symbolic link to
"/usr/lib/libsnmp.so.0".

(Note: "guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx" is on "ethereal-users", so there's no need to
CC that address if responding to "ethereal-users"; send to
"guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx" only if you're not sending to any of the Ethereal
lists.)
