AIX snmpinfo queries error out

Question:
When I issue:
 snmpinfo -m get -c public syscontact0
it returns with 
 Error at Position 0
     
Response: 
Check the contents of /etc/mib.defs and ensure that it has not been
modified. Verify that /etc/snmpd.conf has correct permissions. Check
that the machine that is able to read the snmp information has proper
name resolution (in either /etc/hosts or named database). Refresh
snmpd.
