I understand the default directory to look for MIB files is the following:

/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs


However, I would like to change this to another location. If I set the MIBDIRS environment variable as follows, then I can get it to find the MIB file in a new provided location:


export MIBDIRS= +"/export/home/myname/snmp/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs"


However, I do not want to use the environment variable to make this setting, so I tried the following two setups but nothing worked:


a) I tried including the following option in the "configure" command:

--with-mibdirs="/export/home/myname/snmp/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs"


b) I tried setting the following in the "snmp.conf" file:

mibdirs /export/home/myname/snmp/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs


Question:

Why does (a) and (b) not work for me?

**NOTE: I am not using "snmpd" to start the agent, but rather I am starting a specialized agent called "ocStbHostAVInterfaceTable". Is this a problem ... or should two options above still work regardless?
