Template:FAQ:Compiling 05
From Net-SNMP Wiki
This is typically encountered when installing a Linux RPM of
the ucd-snmp package. This library is part of the 'openssl'
suite, so simply install that RPM first, or download the source
from ftp://ftp.openssl.org and compile and install that.
When compiling {UCD,Net}-SNMP from source, the configure script should detect that this library is not present, and use alternative arrangements for MD5-based authentication.
If encryption (or SHA1-based authentication) is required, then
this typically requires compiling from source. Under Linux, both
the 'openssl' and 'openssl-devel' RPMs should be installed, and the
'config.cache' file removed before running "configure --with-openssl"
and re-compiling.
