snmp decoding ...ubuntu smi issue ?... different then on windows XP ...?

["Sandor, Todd (Todd)" <todd.sandor () alcatel-lucent com>]

Hi:

I had a couple of Ubuntu newbie problems getting Wireshark installed on Unbuntu that included SMI to allow snmp 
decoding and was finally able to get it to a point where I could configure SMI paths and SMI modules ...
I also have a Wireshark on an XP box ...

I'm using a shared SMI path (same mib files, same SMI modules names) and when I attempt to decode exactly the same 
.pcap file on the XP and Ubuntu, I get errors only on Ubuntu (and doesn't perform the decoding) but on the XP version 
it works fine.   Was going to resort to just use the XP version, but thought I would send out an email asking if other 
people experience this behavior?  (I use Ubuntu mainly, it's a little bit of a pain to have to use my XP box for this 
...)...

Is this just expected behavior under Ubuntu (weaker smi library support?)....I was suggested I use smilint and I did an 
initial stab at this (admit a some-what weak one), but even the "Standardized MIBs" has some have issues (ones under 
/var/lib/mibs)...

Anyone have any suggestions?

 On Unbuntu I observe:

> Stopped processing module RFC1213-MIB due to error(s) to prevent potential crash in libsmi.
> Module's conformance level: 1.
> See details at:
> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560325
...
Then after added a SMI path and some private SMI module names on startup I get:

> Stopped processing module TIMETRA-SERV-MIB due to error(s) to prevent potential crash in libsmi.
> Module's conformance level: 1.
> See details at:
