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.

juggie,

That did indeed solve my problem, but before you close and bury this
issue, maybe there should be some notification of this put into the
menuconfig interface or the README file.  Explicitly listing an additional
dependency can't hurt anyone but might help a lot of people who use
Asterisk on CentOS.

Thanks
