I though you said you'd installed the RedHat-provided version

The perl modules aren't built by default - you need to explicitly
request that they be include ("-with perl_modules"). See the
head of the net-snmp.spec file.

Not quite - this is a difference between RedHat packaging
and our arrangements, not the version of Net-SNMP.
The RedHat RPMs distinguish between the setup required for
just running the agent ("net-snmp"), and for using the
command-line tools ("net-snmp-utils"). We don't - our
"net-snmp" RPM covers both.

Hmmmm.....
The problem with that particular RPM is that it doesn't specify
which O/S it was built against. You may have better luck using
one of the O/S-specific perlmods RPMs (rh9, fc2, fc4 or el4)

Sort of - it's more likely to be the O/S assumptions of that particular
RPM don't match your system. That's why the other (i386) RPMs each
specify which O/S they were built on.
We'll need to ensure that the i686 version requirements are made
clearer in the future.

No - the mib2c tool (and supporting directories) is part of the
main 'net-snmp' RPM, not the 'net-snmp-perlmods' RPM.
It *requires* the perl modules, but it isn't part of them.

Try
rpm -ql net-snmp | grep mib2c
