I would like to find out what version I'm using of Net SNMP.
Afterwards, I would like to uninstall that version completely and I would like to re)install the latest tar.gz file (using ./configure, make, make install)

I would like to install the new version under /usr/local...and I'm afraid my previous version is installed somewhere else, I don't know why.

Anyone can help me?

Regards,

Wim

Hi

If you have an rpm based system you can issue the following command on the CLI

rpm -qa | grep snmp

Once you have found the correct rpm issue this command on the CLI

rpm -i (the net-snmp result from the last command)

Or you can type at the CLI

snmpwalk -V

This will give you the version.

To uninstall it type at the CLI

rpm -e (the net-snmp result of the rpm -qa command)

Kind Regards

If you are not on a rpm-distro you could find / | grep snmp

To find out what version you have, 'snmpget -V'.

If you have an rpm installed ('rpm -q net-snmp'), use the instructions someone else posted. Otherwise, you have to jump through some hoops. This *might* work..

1) get the latest source, and unzip it

2) find the install location for the previous location ('which snmpget', minus the /bin/snmpget)

3) configure the newest version (5.1 or later) like so:
./configure --prefix=/path/from/step2 --with-defaults

4) then 'make uninstall'

5) clean up with 'make distclean'

6) install new version with ./configure, make, make install
