From the smi_config man page:
int smiInit(const char *tag); [...] The smiInit() function should be the first SMI function called in an application. It initializes its internal structures. If tag is not NULL, the global configuration file and (on UNIX systems) a user configuration file are read implicitly, if existent. All global statements and those statements with a tag (a ``tag: '' prefix) that matches the tag argument are executed. (see also CONFIGU RATION FILES below). smiInit() returns zero on success, or otherwise a negative value.
So, you probably want to use smiInit("") or smiInit("<my_app>").
