That is the uninstalled snmpd. It is named lt-snmpd for libtool-snmpd
and that is in turn due to the fact that libtool have to make some magic
to make lt-snmpd run.

Since you haven't given an prefix argument the default of /usr/local is
used. Do you have write permission in /usr/local/sbin? If that is the
case then there should be an snmpd there. Otherwhise you could do

make prefix=/tmp/myprefix exec_prefix=/tmp/myprefix install

This should install and, critically, relink the binaries
under /tmp/myprefix.

As suggested above - kind of. It should work the same, so this suggests
that you have some kind of configuration issue as well.

Uninstalled :-) Try to install.
