libsmi reporting parse error, expecting '$'

Folks, I was getting this error IF-MIB:1: parse error, expecting `$' on several differnt platforms and it finally turned out to be an issue with bison/flex. I do not know the details, but I do know that the combination bison 1.875d and flex 2.5.31 does not work while the combination bison 2.1 and flex 2.5.4 seems to be fine. So if someone runs into similar trouble, make sure you upgrade your build tools... /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder International University Bremen <http://www.eecs.iu-bremen.de/> P.O.

I obtained a subversion copy of libsmi, and try to build it (on two machines), I get the following: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -g -O2 -MT parser-smi.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/parser-smi.Tpo -c parser-smi.c -o parser-smi.o >/dev/null 2>&1 make[2]: *** No rule to make target `parser-smi.tab.h', needed by `scanner-smi.c'. Stop. make[2]: Leaving directory `/u01/home/kdart/src/libsmi/trunk/lib' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/u01/home/kdart/src/libsmi/trunk' make: *** [all] Error 2 But I have flex and bison: 403 !$ bison --version bison (GNU Bison) 1.875 404 $ flex --version flex version 2.5.4 It looks like the Makefile does not include a rule for this, after all. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Keith Dart <kdart(a)kdart.com> public key: ID: F3D288E4 =====================================================================

Can MAX-ACCESS of all the columns in a table be not-accessible.?
by Pamidipati Suresh-G20238 15 Nov '05

Hi, Can a table have MAX-ACCESS of all the columns as not-accessible.? I have gone through SMIv2 RFC 2578. It says that a table must have atleast one non-index object. In case all the columns are indices, then one of the index columns must be read-only. I couldn't find whether the non-index column can be not-accessible, when all the index columns are also not-accessible. Also smidump compiler didn't give any error if compiled MIB has a table with all the (index and non-index) columns having MAX-ACCESS defined as not-accessible. Please help me in understanding this. Regards, Suresh.
