Hm...it looks like you may already have snmp running, or at least
something else listening on UDP port 161:

> # netstat -a | grep snm
> udp4       0      0  *.snmp                 *.*

Try running "sockstat | grep 161" and posting the results.

Also, a quick Google for "snmp specified endpoint" turns up a fair
number of newsgroup messages; some seem to suggest that there may be
problems with the very latest version of net-snmpd.  By any chance, are
you compiling a very recent version?
