Solved: check SNMP plugin won't compile

[Cook, Garry]

I checked the path and it did contain /usr/local/bin, so then I tried ./configure --help for the NET-SNMP package. I found the parameter --enable-ucd-snmp-compatibility and decided to give that a shot. It worked perfectly.

Thanks for the help Freddy.
