re-enabling check_snmp

Getting more and more impressed with Nagios's capabilities I was
getting more ambitious and now was getting it to monitor the switches
on my university-research-computing-cluster as well. The pings work
fine but the SNMP monitoring fails. Digging deeper I noticed that I
did not have the command "check_snmp"

I think  this is because when I installed Nagios two days ago I did
not have snmpwalk, snmpget etc,.installed on my system. I just did a
"yum install net-snmp" earlier today.

How can I now retroactively get this "check_snmp" functionality? Do I
have to do a ./confgure, make , make install dance again on the
nagios_plugins source? That's ok but I was just afraid if it would
overwrite any of my configs etc.

What is the recommended procedure now? [I guess I was stupid in the
fact that I skimped reading config.log in my eagerness to go ahead. I
also find the ./configure has skipped on some other potentially useful
plugins for me eg. mysql]

I hope I am not overusing this group in my eagerness to get more done
with Nagios! Apologize in advance if I did!
