Hi,

It would be helpful to include the configure log and exact error messages encountered.

Is there a reason that you are trying to build oprofile from a upstream tarball?  It might be easier to use one of the source rpms https://en.opensuse.org/Package_repositories#OSS  such as

http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/src-oss/suse/src/oprofile-1.2.0-3.4.src.rpm

There are likely packages that need to be installed to build oprofile locally.  The srpm lists thoses as buildrequires in the oprofile.spec file. Some information about rpm packaging is available at:
