Problem Building Elfutils (patched) Required by systemtap

Problem Building Elfutils (patched) Required by systemtap

[Nathan DeBardeleben]

I'm sure this is a newbie question but I figured I'd toss it out there 
anyway.  I'm trying to build the latest systemtap snapshot I see on the 
FTP server - 20060304.  I got the elfutils, 0.119 and patched it with 
the patch provided as well.  Then compiling systemtap it goes into the 
elfutils dir and runs a Make in there - I get the following error.  I'm 
trying this as root in this example since I was having problems doing it 
as a user (not sure if that's necessary):

I had previous configured systemtap with:
./configure --with-elfutils=/root/elfutils-0.119

Any help would be appreciated.  Sorry for the newbie question but 
perhaps it reveals a problem in the configure or potentially a place to 
add something in the docs?  Or maybe I just missed something in the docs. :)

Thanks!

Strange.

It is not.  Building systemtap, and running the "make check" portion
of the test suite should require no privileged access.  Only "make
install" and running scripts such as the dejagnu pass-5 tests will
require privileges.

I wonder if this is some kind of security precaution in the linker,
associated with running the build as root.

That's a bug in the elfutils build that crops up when you don't have any
other elfutils-libelf-devel installed on the system.  This patch should fix it.


Thanks,
Roland

Naw, this happens if I run it as a regular user as well. :(

It looks like you might need to run an ldconfig or work on the way you
installed elfutils.
