It's possible.  Yet on this system there should only be
one instance of net-snmp.  It's a dual-boot machine that
boots into two flavors of SuSE.  But they shouldn't share
any files since they are on their own partition.  Is that
true in general?

That said, I do swap snmpd.conf & snmp.conf files pretty
generously.  My setup is that one (say Load1) has 5.0.8,
5.0.9, and 5.1.1pre2 installed.  He works fine.  The other
boot (Load2) only has 5.0.8, but he's the one giving me
the error.  I did copy the snmpd.conf & snmp.conf from 
Load1 to Load2, but I thought that was okay to do.

So you can think of Load1 as my development environment
where I can load anything I want and go crazy.  Load2 is
supposed to stay pristine and clean so as to closely
match an actual production environment.  So to finally
dodge your question, I'm not sure exactly how netsnmp is
installed on Load2 since I didn't actually do it.  My
guess is that it was loaded from some rpm -- and I'd
doubt if any configure was ever run -- if you do that
with binary rpms.  I usually install from a src rpm so
I know where the source is and can run configure, make,
make install.  Although with a binary rpm, if that is
how it's installed, how would you run configure?  Maybe
that's all I need....

How do you uninstall?  rpm -e ?
