I have installed net-snmp-config (Net-SNMP-5.2.0.tar.gz) previously, and now need to install the snmp package. However, I always get this error:

You need to install net-snmp first (I can't find net-snmp-config) at Makefile.PL line 110.

I have grepped the net for the solution to this and cannot find it. The information provided in the README is very confusing, and the statement "Instead of running "perl Makefile.PL" in this directory, run it in the net-snmp/perl directory instead which has a global makefile used to build all the sub-modules in their proper order" makes no sense, as there is no net-snmp/perl directory *anywhere* on the system.

I don't know what else is needed to try to diagnose or fix this...I am not a PerlMonger by any means! :) Any suggestions?

TIA
