You have to load the module first. Here is some example code:
#include <stdio.h> #include <smi.h>
int main() { int oid[] = {1,3,6,1,2,1,1,3}; SmiNode *smiNode;
smiInit(NULL); smiLoadModule("SNMPv2-MIB"); smiNode = smiGetNodeByOID(sizeof(oid)/sizeof(int), oid); if (smiNode && smiNode->name) { printf("%s\n", smiNode->name); }
smiExit(); return 0; }
Note that you can use the ~/.smirc file to preload modules in case you want to load many modules all the time.

There is already a patch for this regex problem in the CVS. Rather than adding a complete regex implementation to libsmi, we decided to just disable this option on boxes that lack regex.h.
