SNMP- error: Encryption support not enabled

[nbm2]

Hi

when I run the following GET commad:
./snmpget -m ALL -M /data/net/naamab/snmp/snmp_mib/ -v 3 -a MD5 -l authPriv -u test1 -A welcome1 -x DES -X privpass 127.0.0.1 NOVELSAT-MODULATOR-MIB::nsModLineCMMode.0 -d

I get the error:
Encryption support not enabled.
snmpget: USM encryption error

I have defined a user (and user, view and access) that should work with encryption:
snmpd.conf:
createUser test1 MD5 welcome1 DES privpass
group debugGroup usm test1
view debugView included .1
access debugGroup "" usm priv exact debugView debugView none

general details:
I am using net-snmp on linux embedded
version 5.5
Configuration (part of it):
./configure --target=mips64-octeon-linux-gnu
--build=mips64-octeon-linux-gnu
--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu

My guess is the snmp package is not encryption-enabled by default, so you will probably need to build it from source and configure it to have encryption capabilities. So, even though the user has DES enabled, the program cannot support that at this point.
