Hi



 grabbed cvs src  for system tap
 

ran  ./configure and learned that i needed elflibs .111  so i found
 elflibs .113 source tar ball  from  redhats site the one made
specifically for systemtap  and installed them, in 2 different places
/usr/local/ was not valid location apparently. so installed it in /usr
 elfutils installs a new copy of ld, which broke ./configure that was
part of  systemtap/src that wanted the new version of elflibs.
 
 checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error:
C compiler cannot create executables
 See `config.log' for more details.

 collect2: ld returned 64 exit status
 configure:2160: $? = 1
 configure: failed program was:
