They are (most likely) not present yet.

Alan,
You will have to write a tiny tcl-script to load the MIB when tkined/scotty
starts up.
On my site the script resides in /usr/local/lib/scotty/site/init.tcl, (the
default) and it contains this:
---- cut here ----
##
## init.tcl
##

## local extensions to the default init.tcl

lappend scotty_mibs /usr/local/lib/scotty/mibs/experimental.mib
---- cut here ----

In this case the MIB I'm adding is in
/usr/local/lib/scotty/mibs/experimental.mib as that seemed to be a good
place to keep them in.

Depending on your installation locations may be different but this should
get you started.

Good luck,
