Sorry, reporting this via a friend... update:

If you have the SNMP USE flag set, you need at least version 5.1 of net-snmp to compile Ethereal 0.10.2.

Max: do you see any problems making net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.1 stable? Would be required to fix this bug..

I've had reports of some api incompatibilities for version 5.1....still investigating... I also need to get 5.1.1 into portage.

Is this still an issue? I compiled ethereal 0.10.3 with net-snmp 5.0.9-r1 and ethereal compiles fine and seems to decode SNMP packets.

# tethereal --version
tethereal: invalid option -- -
tethereal 0.10.3
Compiled with GLib 2.4.0, with libpcap 0.8.3, with libz 1.1.4, with libpcre 4.4,
with Net-SNMP 5.0.9, without ADNS.
Running with libpcap version 0.8.3 on Linux 2.4.22-gentoo-r2.

I also noticed that net-snmp 5.1.1 was already in portage but marked ~x86.

This seems to have been fixed:
USE="snmp" emerge -ep ethereal
[...]
[ebuild  N    ] net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.0.9-r1
[...]
[ebuild  N    ] net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.3

FIXED
