Unfortunately, UCD SNMP 4.1.1 changed the binary interface to the UCD
SNMP library in a way that is binary *incompatible* with previous
versions; the RPM you loaded for Ethereal was built for an earlier
version of UCD SNMP.  Turning "snmp_set_full_objid()" from a subroutine
into a macro that calls another routine with specific arguments, rather
than turning it into a subroutine that calls said routine, was the
change in question.

Therefore, you will have to build Ethereal from source, unless
somebody's already done so on a system with UCD SNMP 4.1.1 - I don't
know whether anybody has.

To build from source, you will have to install the
"ucd-snmp-devel-4.1.1-2" RPM, and download the Ethereal source.
