After posting the above message back in February, I got some feedback from David 
S and Frank E.  I tried building/installing from source, and that worked for me, 
so I just did my development with that instead of the Fedora systemtap RPM. 
Today, I went back to this same Fedora 11 G5 box and, having forgotten what I 
ran into back in Feb, I tried again to use systemtap from the rpm and got the 
same results.  Is this a ppc-only issue?  Systemtap works OK on F11 for other 
architectures?

I have the following packages installed:
	systemtap-0.9.9-3.fc11.ppc
	kernel-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.ppc64
	kernel-debuginfo-common-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.ppc64
	kernel-devel-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.ppc64
	kernel-debuginfo-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.ppc64

Does anyone have any other ideas what might be causing this problem?

Thanks.
