You have to specify values for the snmp_db_dir and snmp_config_dir

>From the command line of the erl shell you can do it as:

erl -snmp snmp_db_dir '"Your db dir"' \
-snmp snmp_config_dir '"Your config dir"' <other erl options>

Those directories have to be created prior to starting the 
master agent.

Or you can specify values for those variables in a config file.
Check the documentation for erl.

briefly and hurled it against the opposite wall.
