Why am I getting an error with `SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB.mib' trying to convert MIB files to python modules?

[kgbeck]

I am trying to convert MIB files to python modules but I keep getting this error:

"smidump: module `SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB.mib' contains errors, expect flawed output"

I have tried several standard MIB files and I get the same result.
Has anyone else seem this?
Thanks,
Kevin

Guessing here...

Perhaps your SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB.mib imports dependencies chain are not getting resolved ?

Can smidump find all the dependent mibs ? ie: look in /etc/smi.conf , are the dependencies on the path ?

Or your SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB.mib might not be in correct MIB format ?

Thank you Damien. We have written our own MIB and I got that message. That's when I tried a known MIB, the SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB and I tried to convert it in it's native directory. I've never worked with smidump before but it looks straightforward as far as what it is doing. I'm just not sure why it's failing.
