unable to configure check_snmp

I'm using the plugin found on the Exchange rather than the built-in check_snmp. I'm trying to configure it but it keeps telling me that snmp libraries can't be found. I've installed net-snmp-libs, net-snmp-devel, net-snmp-utils and net-snmp itself for both i386 and x86_64. I've used the --libdir=<dir> option and pointed it to /lib, /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 but it still fails.

This is on an RHEL5.5 server. Anyone else have this problem and figure out how to get past it?

Does the configuration process state what libraries it's looking for? What errors can be gleaned from "config.log"? Is there a particular function that it's looking for?

I'll have to look into that and get back to you.
