# ./configure *** *** Could not locate any version of ucd-snmp or net-snmp *** *** Either it is not installed, or installed in a bizarre location. *** *** Try using one of the following switches: ***   --with-snmp-prefix=PFX ***   --with-snmp-include=DIR ***   --with-snmp-lib=DIR *** #

it seems that net-snmp is required.

# which mbrowse /usr/local/bin/mbrowse

[ usage ]

copy third party’s MIB files etc to /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp directory if you would like to.

# cp mibs/* /usr/share/mibs/netsnmp/

Please note that a stored directory for MIB files would differ from Linux distributions.

launch mbrowse
