first run a search for said library
  libsnmp.so.0 
find / -name libsnmp.so.0
next 
vi ld.so.conf
add the PATH to the missing library
next
run
ldconfig
cd to snort source directory
make distclean
./configure --enable-snmp

Thanks phil, 
I found the file and it is in the same place that the error indicates it  
can not find it: /usr/include/net-snmp 

I can not follow the shell script that well - it is overwhelming. I will  
have someone else look at it that knows shell scripts better than me. If  
 anyone knows any trick to this issue let me in on it. I tried coping  
the libraries to the /usr/include directory and that made no difference  
either. Tried installing the RPMed SNMP package and it complains that it  
can not find: 

  libsnmp.so.0 is needed by snort-snmp-1.9.0-1snort 

The NET SNMP devel package is installed and built fine (no errors). 

Anymore thoughts?

If not found, then get the redhat rpm and install it.  Make sure you 
install the "development" type of rpm.  That means it will include 
files needed if you were going to build an snmp based application. Then 
go to 1.  
 
Now look close at the configure shell script and figure out what they 
want in the way of --with-snmp.  Maybe you can pass it a hint so it 
can put the include path in with all the other '-I' directives. 
 
This is what I usually do when the configure complains about not finding 
an include file for some optional feature.

I tried from RPM and Source compiling net-snmp under redhat 8 

I get this error trying to run configure --with-snmp: 

checking for net-snmp/library/snmp_parse_args.h... no 


********************************************** 
 ERROR: unable to find snmp headers (snmp_parse_args.h in net-snmp-5.0.x) 
 checked in the following places 
       /usr/include 
       /usr/include/net-snmp 
       /usr/local/include

Any Ideas?
