Hi Felix Hu,
Hi David Smith,

removing libjson-c-dev was a good move.
However I still get and error when I run make install.

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013/Debian)
 restricted \write18 enabled.

It looks like something when wrong on documentation compilation.
So I am not sure if the installation was successfull or not.

Additionally running ./stap on cache-hit-rate.stp(available here 
https://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/WSCacheHitRate)
still rise error related to vfs and ioblock (see below). Can you help ?

Best regards, and thanks for you time,
