Summary:                    Can not choose res_snmp in "make menuconfig" because
dependency (net-snmp package) not recognized.
Description: 
The res_snmp module can not be chosen in "make menuconfig" apparently
because the net-snmp installation isn't recognized.  It says in "make
menuconfig" that it depends on "netsnmp".  Could this be because of
confusion about the naming of the net-snmp/netsnmp package, or are these
two different pieces of software.  Even within the package itself both
names seem to be used

I am running on a Trixbox 2.6 installation which uses CentOS 5.1 
"yum list net-snmp*"  shows that I have net-snmp, net-snmp-devel,
net-snmp-libs and net-snmp-utils all installed.  It could perhaps be
possible that the Trixbox developers did something wrong/nonstandard in
creating the net-snmp package.

That did not help.  The res_snmp module is still XXX'd out in "make
menuconfig".  

May I assume that others have compiled and installed this module without
having this problem?  If so, maybe I should try to find the packages from
another source.    This may not actually be an Asterisk bug, but if you
think it might be, what else should I do to help track it down.
