I don't know - I installed UCD SNMP from source on FreeBSD 3.4, and it
has no trouble finding that function; good thing, too, given that two of
the apps that come with the UCD SNMP 4.0.1 and UCD SNMP 3.6.2 source
distributions use it....

Did you install a binary distribution of 0.8.3, or did you compile from
source?  (If you compiled from source, it's a bit irritating that RH 6.1
managed to let that error leak through to the run-time linker, rather
than complaining about the mysterious lack of said function when linking
the program.)
