Re: elfutils on Debian?

[Nathan DeBardeleben <ndebard@lanl.gov>]

Please keep us / me updated with your progress.  I got frustrated 
getting this to work on a Debian machine I was trying to set it up on 
and found my time was better spent just going back to a RH machine for 
the time being.  Someone on the list sent me a patch file, couple days 
back.  You can search for it - it was a thread entitled "Problem 
Building Elfutils (patched) Required by systemtap".  Ronald McGrath 
replied with a patch that sadly didn't apply cleanly - I tried building 
afterwards anyway and it didn't work.

Back to Redhat until then.
