Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] snmp decoding ...ubuntu smi issue ?... different then on windows

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:
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:
