Ok, thank you very much. I solved the problem.
The problem was:
Under /var/agentx I had a directory called master, and not a file.
So what I did was:
1) Remove the master directory
2) touch master
3) start master agent (without AgentXSocket myserver:5000 in conf file) and
it worked
4) start the subagent, and it worked
5) perform a snmpget , and it worked.
Thank you again for your precious support.
Best Regards.

Let's see if we can get a "standard" installation working,
shall we?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Note that last error message.
That seems to imply that you may already have an
AgentX-capable SNMP agent running on the system.
Try shutting down both your master agent and your subagent.
Check the directory /var/agentx - what does it contain ?
("ls -l /var/agentx")
Check the running processes - is there another SNMP agent ?
("ps -ef | grep -i snmp" or "ps -aux | grep -i snmp")
