Let's see if we can get a "standard" installation working,
shall we?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Note that last error message.
That seems to imply that you may already have an
AgentX-capable SNMP agent running on the system.


Try shutting down both your master agent and your subagent.
Check the directory /var/agentx - what does it contain ?
("ls -l /var/agentx")

Check the running processes - is there another SNMP agent ?
("ps -ef | grep -i snmp" or "ps -aux | grep -i snmp")
