help with running systemtap

[p v <pvlogin at yahoo dot com>]

Hello,

I've read most of the FAQ's on the web (and more) but I still can't figure out what's wrong with my setup. I've installed fresh FC9 on top of which I did install a debug kernel rpm. But stap is still unhappy and returning the "semantic error: libdwfl failure". Stracing it it shows that it's looking for the debug version of the vmlinux. The debug kernel package does have it but it's compressed - "vmlinuz" and puts this compressed version under /boot. What other steps do I need to perform in order to get stap working? Do I need additional packages (I am sorry  don't have the output of strace on hand with me right now but if requested I'll post it). Simply what I am asking is - what are the steps needed to be able to run stap after installing fresh FC9. It's surprising that stap packages are installed although they are useless without some additional steps. Is there any other linux distribution which would have stap running out of the box? Also how stable
 is stap? Is it stable enough to be run on production machines?

I apologize if this is the wrong forum for these questions in which case plese can you send me a pointer to the right forum?

thx
