snmp 4.2 is that last of the line from ucd-snmp. It then became net-snmp from version 5 onwards. My requirement is for at least version 5.1.2 (I think it's that, 5.x.x anyway) so the 4.2 versions are no use to me.
Now why libsnmp.so disappears between 4.2 and 5.x is what I need to find out.
V5 installs libnetsnmp.so. 'ldcconfig -v | grep libnetsnmp.so' and if it's not there, 'locate libnetsnmp.so', and path the path into /etc/ld.so.conf before running ldconfig -v again.
