[PerfSuite-users] Problems on Perfsuite/Xeon E5450

[<jj...@nu...>]

Hi,

Recently I'm trying to install Perfsuite on an SMP machine with Intel Xeon E5450
processors and Linux OS(RHEL5).

The supported software packages (like kernel patch, perfctr lib, papi, tcl/tk,
tDOM, Expat) have been installed. 

When compiling Perfuite-0.6.2,  I got the following error message:

The BFD comes from binutils-devel package 
(binutils-devel-2.17.50.0.6-9.el5.x86_64.rpm) of RHEL5. 

Hot to solve this problem?
