It's probably a -dev package, which you need to compile, but not to run,
the plugin. Try installing libsnmp-dev

perform snmpwalks, but I don't know of any other way to find out what
I'm missing.

No, I personally prefer using perl to write my own plugins though

You rarely need to use cpan with ubuntu
