[PerfSuite-users] psrun fatal errors: hardware event not available

[Harry M. <hj...@ta...>]

Like a recent poster here on the list, I cannot get psrun to work.  

I'm running Kubuntu on a dual opteron, have patched the kernel (2.6.11) for 
both oprofile & papi and all PAPI tests pass.  All the perfsuite tests pass 
as well (except the thread tests, which I'm not concerned about just now).

Both PAPI and perfsuite libs have been installed in the /usr/local/lib tree 
and ldconfig -v finds them appropriately

The problem comes when trying to run psrun on anything except itself.

As a user, I get:

$ psrun ls
psrun fatal error: error reported by performance software layer


And as root, I get:

 $ sudo psrun ls
psrun fatal error: hardware event not available

Any suggestions?
