Hi,

barora> 1. I tried 'make install' but it failed as I do not have root barora> permission on the machine that I work on. I want to barora> install the man pages in my home directory. What do I need barora> to change in the makefile?

Frank>> Then, I suggest to install everything in your $HOME. The source package Frank>> is flexibly configurable via configure. Please read the ``configure --help'' Frank>> output. You probably want to ``configure --prefix=$HOME''. Then run ``make'' Frank>> and ``make install'' as usual.

barora>>> Thanks !!That worked. Actually I had been able to access the man pages barora>>> earlier too through some juggelry but i was trying something like barora>>> "man smiGetNode" which was not working. Found what I was looking barora>>> for in "man smi_node".

barora> 2. About the SMI version, I also assumed that the SMI version is barora> guessed from the MIB but the result of the smiquery command barora> on the mib "libsmi/libsmi-0.4.0/mibs/ietf/IP-MIB" given as part barora> of the distribution gives the language as language as "SMIv1" barora> even though it should be SMIv2. Why is this happening ?

Frank>>Are you sure? I get ``Language: SMIv2'' for this MIB.

barora>>> Absolutely! I ran the command "smiquery module ./IP-MIB" in the barora>>> directory /libsmi/libsmi-0.4.0/mibs/ietf and here are the barora>>> results verbatim from the screen. barora>>> barora>>> Object: IP-MIB::ipMIB barora>>> Organization: IETF SNMPv2 Working Group barora>>> ContactInfo: Keith McCloghrie barora>>> barora>>> Postal: Cisco Systems, Inc. barora>>> 170 West Tasman Drive barora>>> San Jose, CA 95134-1706 barora>>> US barora>>> barora>>> Phone: +1 408 526 5260 barora>>> Email: kzm@cisco.com barora>>> Description: The MIB module for managing IP and ICMP implementations, barora>>> but excluding their management of IP routes. barora>>> Language: SMIv1 barora>>> Conformance: 1 barora>>> Loaded: no barora>>> Revision: Tue Nov 1 05:30:00 1994 barora>>> Description: [Revision added by libsmi due to a LAST-UPDATED clause.] barora>>> Revision: Sun Mar 31 05:30:00 1991 barora>>> Description: The initial revision of this MIB module was part of MIB- barora>>> barora>>> barora>>> The language shown is SMIv1 !!! barora>>> By the way, I got the same results for WWW-MIB, TCP-MIB and ISDN-MIB. barora>>> barora>>> Whereas I got the following result for BRIDGE-MIB which is actually SMIv1 barora>>> barora>>> Module: BRIDGE-MIB barora>>> Pathname: ./BRIDGE-MIB barora>>> Language: SMIv1 barora>>> Conformance: 1 barora>>> Loaded: no barora>>> barora>>> Seems to be some other problem? As as result the tools do not work on barora>>> these mibs as is gives SMI conformance errors!!! barora>>> BTW, what are the parameters by which the language is guessed ?
