I spoke with NetView support yesterday about obtaining the /usr/OV/libnvsnmp.a
file. There is going to be a post to the forum about being able to download
this file from the web.
Otherwise, if you need it immediately, open a PMR and a tech will send a file
attachment with the installation instructions.

Subject: Re: Réf. : Re: [NV-L] Netmon.trace errors
I previously mentioned a library file:
/usr/OV/lib/nvsnmplib.a incorrectly.
The right name is:
/usr/OV/lib/libnvsnmp.a
Hey, at least I had all of the letters right!
Sorry to send you on a wild-lib chase Leslie.
