This is typically encountered when installing a Linux RPM of the ucd-snmp package. This library is part of the 'openssl' suite, so simply install that RPM first, or download the source from ftp://ftp.openssl.org and compile and install that.

When compiling {UCD,Net}-SNMP from source, the configure script should detect that this library is not present, and use alternative arrangements for MD5-based authentication.

If encryption (or SHA1-based authentication) is required, then this typically requires compiling from source. Under Linux, both the 'openssl' and 'openssl-devel' RPMs should be installed, and the 'config.cache' file removed before running "configure --with-openssl" and re-compiling.
