in reply to Net::SNMP module make test failing

When you configure with --with-perl-modules and do make install in the top level directory, the perl modules should be build and installed for you - no need to go into perl/ and build them yourself.

Try perldoc NetSNMP::agent

    That's what I thought, too. But the instructions for the application said to do so, and I figured it wouldn't hurt. Yet, when I run the application, I still get the same error as when I tried to install the module:

    So, even though perldoc NetSNMP::agent gives me a valid manpage, the error still occurs. What I need is NetSNMP::default_store, not NetSNMP::agent, to avoid the error.

      NetSNMP::default_store was also installed fine for me, and can be loaded without any errors. 
      $ perl -MNetSNMP::default_store -e 'print "foo\n";'
foo

      Shot in the dark, but maybe you need to refresh your ld cache?

        How would I update the ld cache?
