I see. If net-snmp supports pkg-config then all such problems should be 
solvable by using the pkg-config support of Cabal. So you might run

$ pkg-config --list-all

on your machine, see whether net-smnp is listed, and if yes, encourage the 
author of NetSNMP bindings to use the PkgConfig field in his Cabal package 
description.
