*If* you are compiling the agent from source, then you need to include the ucd-snmp/dlmod module. Hence the invocation specified.

If you're working from source, then that's probably still the best approach (since it avoids one possible source of problems). But if you're working with a pre-compiled agent binary, then it's probably simpler to go straight to dynamically loaded modules, rather than trying to install a source-compiled agent alongside the vendor-provided one. We see all sorts of confusion there - particularly with people who aren't quite sure what they are doing.
