These are the headers for development using the UCD SNMP
library.

I bet these are for using the CMU SNMP library.

It may be looking for a feature of the CMU SNMP lib.
which may be missing from that of UCD SNMP.  I suggest
using configure --help to see if one must `configure ... \
--enable-ucd-snmp ...` or `configure ... --snmp=ucd ...` ,
or something like that.  I'd check, but I'm in the
middle of other things...

Maybe even before that, check for the existence of
libsnmp* in /lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib .
