The error message may be misleading. It means that these descriptors (Gauge32, etc.) are well defined by the SMI language specification (in modules that are part of the language specification). So, when libsmi finds a definition for these types, it is only valid if the current module is such a base module (SNMPv2-SMI in case of SMIv2). You are not allowed to have a definition of these types in your own modules.
