=20 hi all, I am not targetting the kernel to debug, but I understand the kernel is needed to track what my program is doing. I am installing like this.. su root ./configure --with-kernel-support make make install I don't see any errors in configure/make/make install. I did need to add /usr/local/bin to my PATH. When I run with # opcontrol --no-vmlinux FATAL: Module oprofile not found. FATAL: Module oprofile not found. Kernel doesn't support oprofile Any ideas? kernel =3D 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 Obtained 0.9.1 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/oprofile <http://sourceforge.net/projects/oprofile>=20 because the .gz files I grabbed using firefox and wget from http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/download/ <http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/download/>=20 would not unpack. (problem?) Patched 0.9.1 with oprofile-0.9.1-anon.patch thank you!! cheers, Mark =20 =20 =20 |

Hi Mark, You need to make sure oprofile is built into the kernel or loaded as a module (called oprofile). this module is included in the linux kernel source. I have an old gentoo box around (running 2.6.11-gentoo-r...something) and i notice it doesnt have oprofile module built (i didnt configure this kernel, someone else did, so i dont know if thats the default or not). but if you configure your own kernel, when you make menuconfig (or whatever your preferred kernel config method is), you want to look under 'Profiling support' on the top level menu, and enable Oprofile system profiling (as a module is fine). then oprofile should work. -derek On Wednesday 07 June 2006 3:17 pm, Mark Meijer wrote: > hi all, > > > I am not targetting the kernel to debug, but I understand > the kernel is needed to track what my program is doing. > > I am installing like this.. > su root > ./configure --with-kernel-support > make > make install > > I don't see any errors in configure/make/make install. > I did need to add /usr/local/bin to my PATH. > > When I run with > # opcontrol --no-vmlinux > FATAL: Module oprofile not found. > FATAL: Module oprofile not found. > Kernel doesn't support oprofile > > Any ideas? > > > kernel = 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 > > Obtained 0.9.1 from > http://sourceforge.net/projects/oprofile > <http://sourceforge.net/projects/oprofile> > because the .gz files I grabbed using firefox and wget from > http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/download/ > <http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/download/> > would not unpack.
