Systemtap Compilation issue

["Rajeev Sampige" <rajeev_sampige at hotmail dot com>]

Hi,

We were trying to install Systemtap RPM package 
(systemtap-0.5.14.20070602-7.i586.rpm). Since there was a problem with 
package, we tried rebuilding source package. Rebuild and package 
installation was successful. However, when we tried out with sample scripts 
as shown below, we got the error.

# stap -ve 'probe begin { log("hello world") exit () }'

# stap -c df -e 'probe syscall.* { if (target()==pid()) log(name." ".argstr) 
}'



Pass 1: parsed user script and 54 library script(s) in 300usr/0sys/310real 
ms.
Pass 2: analyzed script: 1 probe(s), 2 function(s), 0 embed(s), 0 global(s) 
in 10usr/0sys/6real ms.
Pass 3: translated to C into 
"/tmp/stapK7Yty4/stap_b4fbddb993a8b806cecaa290d9aa59db_342.c" in 
0usr/0sys/0real ms.
Pass 4: compiled C into "stap_b4fbddb993a8b806cecaa290d9aa59db_342.ko" in 
630usr/100sys/734real ms.
Pass 4: compilation failed.  Try again with more '-v' (verbose) options.

Here are the system details:
-------------------------------------
Distribution: SuSE GMC

Kernel Version: 2.6.16.13

Architecture: i586



Dependency Libc packages:
-------------------------------------
glibc-i18ndata-2.4-25
glibc-locale-2.4-25
glib-1.2.10-607
taglib-1.4-20
dbus-1-glib-0.60-30
glibc-devel-2.4-28
glib2-devel-2.8.5-19
glibc-2.4-28
glib-sharp2-2.8.2-12
glib2-2.8.5-19
glib-sharp-1.0.10-30

Looks like there is version compatibility issue with glibc. Is there is any 
specific version that we need to install ?

I referred  http://sourceware.org/systemtap/getinvolved.html but couldn't 
find anything which would help in resolving this problem.

Does anyone has any suggestions to fix this?

Thanks,
Rajeev
