Hi,
Some history: libsmi doesn't provide MIBs any more, due to Debian bug 498476 [7] MIB installation was spun out into an independent package snmp-mibs-downloader [8] This package downloads the MIBs directly from their source [9], so these are not cleaned up for libsmi. libsmi integration is not trivial from an application point of view; it's easier to have it crash than work for you. It took several iterations for Wireshark to get this right. You'll have to look in the Wireshark bug database [10] and code repository [11] to see what was solved in which release. All I know is that in the 1.4 release branch things are much better (a.k.a. working). i.s.o. trying to compile everything yourself it might be a good idea to install the newer Wireshark packages from the Ubuntu repositories of a newer release.
