Below is the list of files that could be changed to make them compile:

iftype      The line with mfSigLink has a comma after the "(167)", it
            shouldn't.

rfc1156     Got a number of 'rfc1156.mib:nnn: the row object "xxxxxx" must
            have an INDEX clause.' errors. To fix these I added index clauses
            that seemed to make the most sense.

            Also got 'rfc1156.mib:571: expected a string, got }' because of an
            extra comma after the last item in a list.

            The changes are shown below:

rfc1158     DisplayString was not IMPORTed from SNMPv2-TC.

            Got a number of 'rfc1158.mib:nnn: the row object "xxxxxx" must
            have an INDEX clause.' errors. To fix these I added index clauses
            that seemed to make the most sense.

            Got 'rfc1158.mib:671: expected right-brace, got bgp' because of a
            missing comma in a list declaration.

            Got 'rfc1158.mib:510: sequence type "IpAddrEntry" references
            undefined columnar object "ipAdEntReasmMaxSize".' The final 'e'
            was missing from the OBJECT-TYPE definition. Also got
            'rfc1158.mib:711: sequence type "IpNetToMediaEntry" references
            undefined columnar object "ipNetoToMediaType".' where an
            extraneous 'o' had been added to the object name.

rfc1162     For some reason a line containing '[APPLICATION 5]' was inside an
            object definition. This same defintion also included the word
            'IMPLICIT' which mibcomp did not like.

            Got 4 occurrences of the 'rfc1162.mib:nnn: the row object "xxxxxx"
            must have an INDEX clause.' error where the INDEX clause had been
            commented out. Uncommented them.

            The changes are shown below:

               >                                  clnpMediaToNetPhysAddress }

rfc1230     The MIB did not IMPORT 'Counter' from RFC1155-SMI. 

rfc1232     Tried to IMPORT DisplayString from RFC1158-MIB, when it should be
            IMPORTed from SNMPv2-TC. This was changed.

rfc1233     Tried to IMPORT DisplayString from RFC1158-MIB, when it should be
            IMPORTed from SNMPv2-TC. This was changed.

rfc1238     Got 'rfc1238.mib:8: IMPORTS clause references unknown module
            "RFC-1213".' and 'rfc1238.mib:732: sequence type
            "ClnpMediaToNetEntry" references undefined columnar object
            "clnpMediaToNetNetAddress".'. These were fixed with the following
            changes:

               7c7
               <                           FROM RFC-1213
               ---
               >                           FROM RFC1213-MIB
               732c732
               <                   clnpMediaToNetNetAddress
               ---
               >                   clnpMediaToNetAddress

rfc1252     Got 'rfc1252.mib:46: INTEGER value must be less than or equal to
            2147483647.' because the top end of an integer range was defined
            as 'FFFFFFFF'h. This was changed to '7FFFFFFF'h.

            Got 'rfc1252.mib:238: sequence type "OspfAreaEntry" references
            undefined columnar object "ospfLSACount".' It appears that the
            ospfLSACount in this definition should have been ospfAreaLSACount.

            Got 'rfc1252.mib:221: INDEX clause for "ospfAreaEntry" references
            undefined object "ospfAreaID".' It appears that ospfAreaID in this
            line should be ospfAreaId.

            The changes to this MIB are shown below:

               46c46
               <              PositiveInteger ::= INTEGER (1..'FFFFFFFF'h)
               ---
               >              PositiveInteger ::= INTEGER (1..'7FFFFFFF'h)
               221c221
               <          INDEX { ospfAreaID }
               ---
               >          INDEX { ospfAreaId }
               238c238
               <              ospfLSACount
               ---
               >              ospfAreaLSACount

rfc1269     Below is a list of the non-cosmetic differences between the MIB in
            the RFC and the installed MIB. The MIB in the RFC does not
            compile. The installed MIB has not been updated to match the code
            from the RFC. The additional import of NetworkAddress would not
            cause an error, just a warning because it is never used.

               ---
               >                     ENTERPRISE   bgp

rfc1289     Got 'rfc1289.mib:720: expected SYNTAX, got SYNTAXINTEGER'. Added a
            space between the two words.

            There were a large number of cases where the compile an error like
            this: 'rfc1289.mib:nnnn: SYNTAX for column object "fooObject"
            conflicts with type in sequence "FooEntry". Mostly the conflict
            were between PhivAddr or PhivCounter types and INTEGERs. PhivAddr
            is defined as OCTET STRING (SIZE (2)) and PhivCounter is defined
            as INTEGER. In cases where the types don't match, the Phiv* side
            of the conflict was arbitrarily selected.

            All of the changes are shown below:
