Thanks for your help again.

The reason why it doesn't work is that PDSLIB has some problem with both
the source and binary for AIX5.2 package.

Now I download a new packaged according to their instruction as following:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a problem with the source tar balls for AIX 5.2 and 5.3 on our
website. Until we replace them, if you need to download the source, please

download the source tar ball for AIX 5.1 or 4.3 as they contain the same
package.

If you are only installing the binaries, and are having problems with our
binary tar ball for AIX 5.2, please try installing the binary tar ball for
AIX 5.1 as that one has been tested to work on 5.2 also.

We apologize for the confusion. Please let us know if you have a
successful installation.

The PDSLIB staff.

Would you please tell me some good guides/documents/links about net-snmp
so that I can learn it more quickly?

Best Regards,
Tango

Although I'm not familiar with AIX (and its ldd output) in particular,
this looks plain wrong. How did you install the package, especially
/usr/local/sbin/snmpd? Did you do a proper "make install"?

Please also see http://www.freesnmp.com/net-snmp/faqs/index.html#static
on how to properly do static linking.

I bet you did *not* apply the suggested fix from README.aix, did you?
