Well, I can't really help much then.
SNMP is quite a complex set of standards, and without seeing the .mib
files, it is difficult to see what is missing.

You might be missing all the RFC mibs. Think of these as the trunk of
the tree, and without them you cannot put any leaves on it.

You should normally just be able to give the tool the directory name
where all the mibs are. It should then compile them, and work out
which leaf goes where, so long as the trunk (rfc mibs) are there.
For example, this is what wireshark does so that it can decode snmp
packet captures.
