Re: [PerfSuite-users] Perfsuite configuration error - PAPI libraries

[Rick K. <rk...@nc...>]

Sanjay,

It looks to me as though the perfctr user library is not being picked up 
at runtime by the linker.  As I recall, PAPI's test suite uses static 
linking and therefore would not need to locate libperfctr.so, however this 
is not the case with PerfSuite.

You might try adding the directory or directories that contain your builds 
and installs of PAPI's libraries and the Perfctr library (these may be the 
same "lib" or "lib64" subdirectory) to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and try 
again.  If you still experience problems, then please advise and we can 
investigate further.

Subject: Perfsuite configuration error - PAPI libraries

Hi
I went to install perfsuite (perfsuite-0.6.2a6) on AMD -64 bit CENT
OS

Kernel version: 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL

I downloaded the kernel-2.6.9-34.0.2.EL.src.rpm and perfctr-2.6.25
and fallowed the instuction given by Install file of perfctr to add
the patch.
( before going to make mrproper, I am changing EXTRAVERSION to
-34.0.2.ELcustom)

Then I rebooted the system.

Then I installed perfctr. it went fine.

Then I installed papi-3.5.0 by mentioning perfctr directory.
That also went fine.

Then I installed tdom, that also went fine.

Then I went for configuring perfsuit with this command

./configure --with-papi=/usr/local/papi-3.5.0
--prefix=/usr/local/perfsuite --enable-mpi
MPICPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/mpich-1.2.6/ch_p4/include"
--with-tdom=/usr/lib/tdom0.8.2

its end up with error. My config.log file says

Can you tell me where I am wrong.
Any mistakes while adding the patch ?

Thanx in advance
