Hi Thang,

I took a closer look at the default install in /usr/local/bin and what is 
installed when using stap_testing. There are two files missing from the 
share/systemtap/tapset/*.stp:

Looking at what is in the share/systemtap/tapset directories there are some 
differences:

$ diff /tmp/stap_test.files /tmp/stap_local.files
0a1,6

This explains why the $return wasn't working. However, I don't know why just 
those two stp files and some of subdirectories are not installed when the 
following was in the configure:

--prefix=/home/wcohen/stap_testing_200610181621/install
