Re: getting systemtap installed from development repository

Some people have had problems installing the systemtap rpm in FC4 due to the new and improved elfutils really being in the development branch of the repository rather than the FC4 branch of the repository.

Below is the magic yum command to point yum at the appropriate place:

# yum --enablerepo=development install systemtap

configure: error: systemtap requires elfutils 0.111+
[krstaffo@dyn src]$

This should be discussed on the systemtap mailing list rather than private email. Looking through the config.log you sent it appears that configure couldn't find the libdw.


First, check which version of elfutils is installed and verify that it is a new one:

rpm -q elfutils

Second, look to see whether the /usr/lib/libdw-* are there.

ls -l /usr/lib/libdw-*

It might be a shared libraries problem. You might want to see if libdw is found with:

/sbin/ldconfig -p|grep libdw

Those are my suggestions for the time being.
