OK - that sounds like a vendor-supplied binary, rather than
one you've compiled yourself. Yes?

When the library is compiled, it includes a list of "standard" MIBs
which it will try to load by default. That's what you are seeing here.

You have several options:
- put the MIB files back into this directory
(so that the library can find them again)
- run "snmpwalk" et al with the option -m ""
(which disables the loading of the default list)
- set the environmental variable MIBS to have the value ""
(which also disables the loading of the default list)
- create a file $HOME/.snmp/snmp.conf
(note - *not* snmpd.conf)
containing the line
mibs ""
This doesn't quite work, as it will try to look for a MIB called ""
(and complain). But that's better than complaining about
the full default list!
I've logged that problem as a bug in the project tracker system.
A simple workaround would be to install one MIB file in the
/usr/share/snmp/mibs directory, and list this MIB in your
snmp.conf file.
- Recompile the software using
./configure --with-mibs="" ...
But that's probably a bit drastic!

Yes. If you change the search path, then the library (and hence
all the tools) will look for MIBs in that new path.

If you are going to install the MIB files which you removed earlier,
why don't you just put them back into /usr/share/snmp/mibs ?

./configure --with-mibdirs=/path/to/mib/dir
But that doesn't feel the right solution here. See above.
