I've done a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04LTS, and installed the snmpd and snmp packages.
If I type:
snmpwalk -m ALL -v2c -c public localhost 1.3
I get swathes of errors, of the form:
Cannot adopt OID in SQUID-MIB: cacheClients ::= { cacheProtoAggregateStats 15 }
Cannot adopt OID in NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB: nsExtendLineIndex ::= { nsExtendOutput2Entry 1 }
Cannot adopt OID in NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB: nsExtendOutLine ::= { nsExtendOutput2Entry 2 }

Cannot adopt OID in NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB: nsNotifyShutdown ::= { netSnmpNotifications 2 }

There a literally hundreds of these.
If snmp doesn't even like the distro-included MIBs, what chance to I have of getting my own used? (I get the same form of error with my own MIB, on a different machine, which is why I set up a clean install to test the distro's sanity.)
Do other distros have this issue? Is there something obvious that I am overlooking here?
apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader
The above command downloads various non-free MIBs which the free MIBs (included with distro) require to work.
There are still a handful of errors, after installing this non-free package, but the
snmpwalk
now works.It seems you do not have snmp installed. Just do
