[PerfSuite-users] Error running psrun with papi rapl component

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello, i was trying to run a program with rapl component and got the following error:

"libpsrun fatal error: error reported by performance software layer"

then i recompile perfsuit with debug, and set the PS_DEBUG enviroment variable with value 3

i ran again and got the following error:

ps: i'm using PAPI version 5.4.1 and perfsuite 1.1.4 and  as root (because the rapl events only works with root user) in a linux kernel 3.16.0-41-generic (ubuntu 14.10)
