LinuxQuestions.org - snmpd not getting to start

Hi, i have installed net-snmp 5.4.2.1 onto my ubuntu-8.04 (its my ipv6
host and on eth0 interface 2001:468::3/64 address is assigned) .but im
unable to start my snmpd. whenever i run "/etc/init.d/snmpd start" the
im getting following error-
symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libnetsnmpagent.so.15: undefined
symbol: boot_DynaLoader

My snmpd is available in /usr/local/sbin
snmpd.conf is in /usr/local/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and also in
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

please help me in removing above error so that snmpd can get start on
my ipv6 host.

[1] my /usr/local/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file is shown below-
#
# EXAMPLE.conf:
# An example configuration file for configuring the ucd-snmp snmpd agent.
#
###############################################################################
#
# This file is intended to only be an example. If, however, you want
# to use it, it should be placed in /usr/local/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.
# When the snmpd agent starts up, this is where it will look for it.
#
# You might be interested in generating your own snmpd.conf file using
# the "snmpconf" program (perl script) instead. It's a nice menu
# based interface to writing well commented configuration files. Try it!
#
# Note: This file is automatically generated from EXAMPLE.conf.def.
# Do NOT read the EXAMPLE.conf.def file! Instead, after you have run
# configure & make, and then make sure you read the EXAMPLE.conf file
# instead, as it will tailor itself to your configuration.

# All lines beginning with a '#' are comments and are intended for you
# to read. All other lines are configuration commands for the agent.

#
# PLEASE: read the snmpd.conf(5) manual page as well!

# Access Control
###############################################################################

# YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE "COMMUNITY" TOKEN BELOW TO A NEW KEYWORD ONLY
# KNOWN AT YOUR SITE. YOU *MUST* CHANGE THE NETWORK TOKEN BELOW TO
# SOMETHING REFLECTING YOUR LOCAL NETWORK ADDRESS SPACE.

# By far, the most common question I get about the agent is "why won't
# it work?", when really it should be "how do I configure the agent to
# allow me to access it?"
#
# By default, the agent responds to the "public" community for read
# only access, if run out of the box without any configuration file in
# place. The following examples show you other ways of configuring
# the agent so that you can change the community names, and give
# yourself write access as well.
#
# The following lines change the access permissions of the agent so
# that the COMMUNITY string provides read-only access to your entire
# NETWORK (EG: 10.10.10.0/24), and read/write access to only the
# localhost (127.0.0.1, not its real ipaddress).
#
# For more information, read the FAQ as well as the snmpd.conf(5)
# manual page.

####
# First, map the community name (COMMUNITY) into a security name
# (local and mynetwork, depending on where the request is coming
# from):

# sec.name source community
com2sec local localhost public
com2sec6 mynetwork 2001:468::/64 public
com2sec readonly default public
#com2sec6 readonly default public

####
# Second, map the security names into group names:

# sec.model sec.name
group MyRWGroup v1 local
group MyRWGroup v2c local
group MyRWGroup usm local
group MyRWGroup usm initial
group MyROGroup v1 mynetwork
group MyROGroup v2c mynetwork
group MyROGroup usm mynetwork
group MyRWGroup v1 any
group MyRWGroup v2c any
####
# Third, create a view for us to let the groups have rights to:

# incl/excl subtree mask
view all included .1 80

####
# Finally, grant the 2 groups access to the 1 view with different
# write permissions:

# context sec.model sec.level match read write notif
access MyROGroup "" any noauth exact all none none
access MyRWGroup "" any noauth exact all all none

# System contact information
#

# It is also possible to set the sysContact and sysLocation system
# variables through the snmpd.conf file. **PLEASE NOTE** that setting
# the value of these objects here makes these objects READ-ONLY
# (regardless of any access control settings). Any attempt to set the
# value of an object whose value is given here will fail with an error
# status of notWritable.

# syslocation Right here, right now.
syscontact G. S. Marzot <gmarzot@marzot.net>

# Example output of snmpwalk:
# % snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost system
# system.sysDescr.0 = "SunOS name sun4c"
# system.sysObjectID.0 = OID: enterprises.ucdavis.ucdSnmpAgent.sunos4
# system.sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (595637548) 68 days, 22:32:55

# Process checks.
#
# The following are examples of how to use the agent to check for
# processes running on the host. The syntax looks something like:
#
# proc NAME [MAX=0] [MIN=0]
#
# NAME: the name of the process to check for. It must match
# exactly (ie, http will not find httpd processes).
# MAX: the maximum number allowed to be running. Defaults to 0.
# MIN: the minimum number to be running. Defaults to 0.

#
# Examples:
#

# Make sure mountd is running
proc mountd

# Make sure there are no more than 4 ntalkds running, but 0 is ok too.
proc ntalkd 4

# Make sure at least one sendmail, but less than or equal to 10 are running.
proc sendmail 10 1

# A snmpwalk of the prTable would look something like this:
#
# % snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.2
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prIndex.1 = 1
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prIndex.2 = 2
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prIndex.3 = 3
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prNames.1 = "mountd"
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prNames.2 = "ntalkd"
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prNames.3 = "sendmail"
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMin.1 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMin.2 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMin.3 = 1
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMax.1 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMax.2 = 4
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prMax.3 = 10
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prCount.1 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prCount.2 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prCount.3 = 1
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrorFlag.1 = 1
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrorFlag.2 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrorFlag.3 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrMessage.1 = "No mountd
process running."
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrMessage.2 = ""
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrMessage.3 = ""
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrFix.1 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrFix.2 = 0
# enterprises.ucdavis.procTable.prEntry.prErrFix.3 = 0
#
# Note that the errorFlag for mountd is set to 1 because one is not
# running (in this case an rpc.mountd is, but thats not good enough),
# and the ErrMessage tells you what's wrong. The configuration
# imposed in the snmpd.conf file is also shown.
#
# Special Case: When the min and max numbers are both 0, it assumes
# you want a max of infinity and a min of 1.

# This alleviates the multiple line output problem found in the
# previous executable mib by placing each mib in its own mib table:

# Run a shell script containing:
#
# #!/bin/sh
# echo hello world
# echo hi there
# exit 35
#
# Note: this has been specifically commented out to prevent
# accidental security holes due to someone else on your system writing
# a /tmp/shtest before you do. Uncomment to use it.
#
# exec .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.50 shelltest /bin/sh /tmp/shtest

# % snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.50
# enterprises.ucdavis.50.1.1 = 1
# enterprises.ucdavis.50.2.1 = "shelltest"
# enterprises.ucdavis.50.3.1 = "/bin/sh /tmp/shtest"
# enterprises.ucdavis.50.100.1 = 35
# enterprises.ucdavis.50.101.1 = "hello world."
# enterprises.ucdavis.50.101.2 = "hi there."
# enterprises.ucdavis.50.102.1 = 0

# Now the Output has grown to two lines, and we can see the 'hi
# there.' output as the second line from our shell script.

# Note that you must alter the mib.txt file to be correct if you want

# Subagent control

# The agent can support subagents using a number of extension mechanisms.
# From the 4.2.1 release, AgentX support is being compiled in by default.
# However, this is still experimental code, so should not be used on
# critical production systems.
# Please see the file README.agentx for more details.
#
# If having read, marked, learnt and inwardly digested this information,
# you decide that you do wish to make use of this mechanism, simply
# uncomment the following directive.
#
# master agentx
#
# I repeat - this is *NOT* regarded as suitable for front-line production
# systems, though it is probably stable enough for day-to-day use.
# Probably.
#
# No refunds will be given.
