Many
libraries install themselves with the actual library (libsnmp.so.0.4.2), and
*two* symbolic links. The two symlinks are usually like
this:
libsnmp.so.0 -> libsnmp.so.0.4.2
libsnmp.so -> libsnmp.so.0
Make
sense? Most libraries work this way. The "no version" link should
point to the "major version" link, and the "major version" link should point to
the real library. The real library should have all of the version numbers
on it.
Just
to be paranoid, it's often a good idea to run 'ldconfig -v | less' as root after
you muck about with your shared libs to make sure things look
right.

Hello,
I'm trying to install ethereal
0.8.14 on my system running RedHat Linux 7.1. I've installed all necessary
packages and I am still being told that ethereal requires libsnmp.so.0.
Seeing that package is included in ucd-snmp and my version of the package is
0.4.2 I decided to look up the name of the libsnmp package. In my
version of the RPM libsnmp is called libsnmp-0.4.2.so. In
version 3.6.1-5 of the RPM the libsnmp package is called
libsnmp.so.0. I was wondering if this means that your RPM is requiring
an older package than I have installed or if there was some way you could
recompile your RPM so it now requires libsnmp.so.0 or libsnmp-0.4.2.so.
Thanks for your time good morning, good evening, and goodnight.
