newbie alert here. i'm trying to run one of the simple examples for
systemtap and i'm getting precisely the error described here:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/systemtap/2006-q4/msg00428.html
my current (unadulterated) system configuration is:
- fully-updated fedora core 6 laptop
- latest (as of this morning) "git pull" kernel
- systemtap-0.5.10-1.fc6
- systemtap-runtime-0.5.10-1.fc6
should i be manually commenting anything out of alloc.c as suggested
in that thread? thanks.

Yeah, this is a known bug, corrected in ... wait for it ... CVS.
We're planning to package fedora updates only a couple of weeks from
now.

If you're up for a little bit of adultery (and, running a fresh git
kernel, surely you are!), try building systemtap out of CVS.

so subversion was a little too cutting edge, was it? :-)

sure, i can give that a shot. am i right in thinking that this is
just an issue when CONFIG_SMP is selected? at least, when i peruse
alloc.c, that's what it looks like.

ok, just to summarize, i grabbed the latest systemtap CVS, and did
$ ./configure
$ make
(after installing elfutils-devel, which was the only elfutils-related
package that was missing on my FC6 system.)
now, i'm assuming that if i "make install", that's going to overwrite
my currently-installed RPMs for systemtap and systemtap-runtime so, to
keep my RPM database clean, would it make sense to first remove those
two RPMs (nothing seems to depend on them), *then* do the make
install?
(am i right in assuming that building and installing systemtap from
scratch is exactly equivalent to installing those two packages?)
thanks.

Yes, that was one option. The other (building a bundled elfutils)
is outlined in src/README.

No, like most other autoconf/automake based tools, the default
installation prefix is /usr/local, which should coexist fine.
Try "make -n install" and see.
