If you want to install without a RPM, you need to make sure you remove the
existing RPM first, so you don't end up with two versions installed. Other
packages will depend on the Net-SNMP RPMs, so you will have to specify --nodeps
to get it to work. So, do something like this:
1) get the latest version of Net-SNMP
2) unpack it, run configure and make to build it
3) remove old RPMs
$ rpm --nodeps net-snmp net-snmp-util net-snmp-perl net-snmp-libs \
net-snmp-devel
Not all systems will have all these RPMs installed, so remove any that
cause rpm to fail.
4) run make install to install the new version.
Alternatively, grab the latest Net-SNMP src.rpm, and then
$ rpmbuild --rebuild -with perl net-snmp-5.2.1.src.rpm

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
