I am getting this error fatal error: net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h: No such file or directory. I have installed gcc, python-devel, net-snmp, net-snmp-utils, net-snmp-python and other development dependencies.

CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)

[admin@localhost python]$

UPDATE1: After running ./configure && make && make install on the netsnmp source dir, I was able to run python setup.py install. However, now I am getting this error from python:

>>> import netsnmp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "netsnmp/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from client import *
  File "netsnmp/client.py", line 1, in <module>
    import client_intf
ImportError: No module named client_intf
>>> 

UPDATE2: My bad!! I was running python interpreter from the directory of netsnmp source dir cd /tmp/net-snmp-master/python/ which was causing me to give the expected error as python was not using the import from the egg, but from the source. Anyways, after doing a cd ~, I am getting a new error

>>> import netsnmp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/netsnmp/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

ImportError: libnetsnmp.so.30: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
>>> exit()

UPDATE3

[root@localhost ~]# sudo ldconfig
[root@localhost ~]# sudo ldconfig -p | grep netsnmp
    libnetsnmptrapd.so.31 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libnetsnmptrapd.so.31
    libnetsnmptrapd.so (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libnetsnmptrapd.so
    libnetsnmpmibs.so.31 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libnetsnmpmibs.so.31
    libnetsnmpmibs.so (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libnetsnmpmibs.so
    libnetsnmphelpers.so.31 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libnetsnmphelpers.so.31
    libnetsnmphelpers.so (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libnetsnmphelpers.so
    libnetsnmpagent.so.31 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libnetsnmpagent.so.31

    libnetsnmp.so.31 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libnetsnmp.so.31
    libnetsnmp.so (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libnetsnmp.so
[root@localhost ~]# find / -name libnetsnmp.so*

/usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so
/usr/local/lib/libnetsnmp.so.30
[root@localhost ~]# 

UPDATE4: Finally fixed the problem by running sudo ldconfig and modifying /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/ld.so.conf
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
[root@localhost ~]# cat > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf <<EOF
> /usr/local/lib
> EOF
[root@localhost ~]# ldconfig
[root@localhost ~]# python
>>> import netsnmp
>>> exit()
[root@localhost ~]#

Make sure you have installed net-snmp-devel. Check the existing of /usr/include/net-snmp/net-snmp-config.h
