Cheops (http://marko.marko.net/cheops/) is no longer maintained and
might need some changes to make it compile with newer libraries
(ucd-snmp related mostly) or to compile with newer gcc versions. I've
been fixing some of these bugs in the Debian version (patches and all
available at http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/cheops). Its
functionality now is also very limited (uses 'queso' for OS detection
for example)

Cheops-ng, however, is being maintained, uses nmap for OS detection
and should be, overall, much better than Cheops. For more info see
http://cheops-ng.sourceforge.net/ and
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cheops-ng/
