check_snmp

You received an answer earlier today that you seem to have ignored...  
I'll try --

No install of the nagios source/package includes any plugins. How did  
you install the nagios-plugins? Source or package? If by package, does  
that package include the plugin? Which package did you install and who  
maintains that package? Do you have all the required and optional  
dependencies for that package installed?

They aren't. They are almost certainly the perl based contrib plugins  
that rely on perl-net-snmp. They are not related to check_snmp in any  
way, other than being able to speak SNMP, and using a different way of  
doing so.

Depends on how you installed the plugins. If you installed from  
source, read the output of ./configure or the REQUIREMENTS file.  
check_snmp depends on  other software before it will be compiled --

REQUIREMENTS -
"check_snmp:
         - Requires the NET-SNMP package available from
           http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/"

Note that this is *not* perl-net-snmp. Similar names but completely  
different software. As your previous respondent noted, this is  
probably Debian's 'snmp' package.
