That was it - it needed the libsnmp-dev package to configure.  But it still
wouldn't make (the error message looked like a combo of foreign language and
corrupt text encoding) and I hadn't seen Andrew's e-mail yet, so I just
re-installed the entire plugins package.

This time it compiled with check_snmp, and after restarting Nagios, my SNMP
checks are functioning.  NICE!

Thanks for the tips.  If I need to install an individual check at a later
date, I'll try Andrew's method of making that one check.
