looks like some process that is running is already bound to port 161, make 
sure no other process is running that may be bound to that port (snmpdx in 
solaris for example). If you really can't find it, try grabbing 'lsof' for 
your platform and run something like"

'lsof | grep IPv4' 

to see all the processes that are bound to network ports on your system
