The easiest method would be to download one of the pre-built RPMs
from the project web site, and install that.

If you need to control how the software is compiled, then the
easiest method would be to download (and install) the source
RPM (net-snmp-5.3.0.1-1.src.rpm), tweak the configure command
in the spec file to match your requirements, and then run

rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/net-snmp.spec

That will build an RPM which you can install on each of your
systems. That's much safer than trying to copy files across
from one system to another (and hoping you've found all of them).
Plus it keeps everything recorded with the RPM database, which
can be extremely useful.
