Re: trouble with installation of systemtap3-0 on Ubuntu 14.04

[David Smith <dsmith at redhat dot com>]

OK, I think I know what is going on here. Release 3.0 doesn't include
the latest 2 commits to staprun/Makefile.am. That's why you didn't have
'-lpanel' in your link line.

HEAD systemtap includes the following 2 commits that moved the json-c
and ncurses libraries from AM_CFLAGS (causing them to appear too early
in the link line) to stapio_LDADD (causing them to appear properly at
the end of the link line).

    monitor mode: Use pop up panel for help message

I'd suggest getting HEAD systemtap if you need monitor mode. Your other
option would be to be to try to cherry pick those commits, but they
might depend on other commits.
