OK. So you essentially have a definition for Unsigned64 which should be valid as long as it is used by SMIv2 modules but it should be invalid if used by SPPI modules and libsmi always complains. I am not sure how easy it will be to fix this because libsmi treats Unsigned64 internally as a base type and Counter64 actually as a type derived from Unsigned64 (basically following the SMIng model). Frank, do you have an idea how to address this name clash?
For now, I have written a test case for libsmi and checked it into the SVN repository which demonstrates the problem.
I have just modified the parser so that it now accepts (and warns) about such type definitions that match existing SPPI or SMI base type names.
