the error is due to missing linking to some libraries, thus is not a 
compile time error, but a runtime loading problem. The solutions is to 
find missing libraries at link time and add them as you did.

In this case, in many OS-es, the net-snmp library comes with a tool 
named net-snmp-config that can list the lib dependencies. That is used 
in makefile when found on the system, but seems in your case does not 
exist. Can you check somehow if the tool is provided by another package 
on centos 5.7?

In other OSes, there is a pkg-config tool that can do more or less the 
same. You can check if you have it on your centos and if yes, check if 
can print dependencies for net-snmp:

pkg-config --list-all

should list all supported packages.

Cheers,
Daniel
