Using Systemtap to profile Sugar

In my system (Fedora 18) I found a bug [1] and needed install systemtap from git. Newer systems can have it solved.

Installing systemtap from git

The installation is very standard, requieres set a destination directory:

$ git clone git://sourceware.org/git/systemtap.git
$ cd systemtap/
$ ./configure  --prefix=/home/gonzalo/systemtap-2.5-27886
$ make
$ make install

Installing from repositories

You can try install from repositories too.

# yum install -y systemtap-devel systemtap-runtime systemtap-client

If you install from git and from the repositories, in the same system, can have conflicts trying to run the probes.
