Try starting the agent using
    "snmpd -f -Le ...."

Does it report anything interesting while it's starting up?
(Particularly in the first 30s, and when things finally start working).

The default configuration builds everything under /usr/local
/usr/sbin would normally be used by a vendor-supplied agent,
rather than one you compiled yourself.
