PAPI Forum

Hi, guys!
I have two doubts here.

The first, if I want to use PAPI on the beagleboard, what can I do? It seems that if I want the PAPI supports ARM, I need to configure PAPI with libpfm4. My OS is Angstrom and it pass the configure with the command './configure --with-libpfm4', but for the testing it doesn't work. The error like this:
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/4.3.3/../../../../arm-angstrom-linux-gnu
eabi/bin/ld: ../libpapi.a(papi.o): Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 3)

make[1]: Leaving directory `/papi-4.1.4/src/ctests'
make: *** [ctests] Error 2

The second, I try to use PAPI on the virtual machine with the Ubuntu 11.04, I passed the configuration by using "./configure --with-perf-events", but when I do the test (make test), there is also an error said that "No rule to make target '../libpapi.a', needed by 'api'. Stop."

Anyone has the idea to solve these problems?
Thank you!

This is the kind of error you get if you are trying to link an ARM binary against x86 objects. Are you using a cross compiler? Did you forget to do a make clean on your PAPI tree after building an x86 version?

PAPI currently will not really work inside of a virtual machine.

Even so, it should still build. Did you do "configure" followed by "make"? Did just plain make give you any errors?

Now I don't use the virtual machine but the actual environment with Ubuntu 11.04, I first make the configuration by using "./configure", this is correct. Then, I followed with the "INSTALL.txt" to make papi, but the error was like this:

Thank you!

These errors are because you do not have a Fortran compiler installed and can be ignored.

So, did you mean I can just ignored this and keep on using PAPI?
