Always reluctant to try something new when we are comfortable with the tools we currently use, we haven’t used yum before. We had a problem with installing the net-snmp-devel package with up2date because of some dependencies. We were able to use yum to quickly install the package we needed along with the dependencies on our CentOS 4 server:

Pretty easy to do.
