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

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

Sanjay -

This is, I think, a situation that has been reported previously - see the 
following earlier post to the perfsuite-users mailing list:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=Pine.LNX.4.64.0701171838120.18837%40osage.ncsa.uiuc.edu&forum_name=perfsuite-users

Briefly, one workaround is to add the option --disable-binutils to the 
"configure" command line and rebuild PerfSuite.

An alternate approach is to create a symbolic link named "libbfd.so" that 
points to the real libbfd-XXXXX.so (where XXXXX will differ, depending on 
your Linux installation).  BFD, for reasons that I don't know, doesn't 
follow the usual naming scheme for its shared library and therefore links 
against -lbfd attempt to use the static library, which is where the 
conflict arises.  Note: you would need to have root privileges on 
your system in order to be able to create this link.
