Hi guys,

I am currently using the SGI Altix 4700 system running on Itanium 2 and the OS is SLES11. The proble m is that vtune does not support the SLES11 kernel hence I need to build the driver for this platform. I followed the HO WTO-BUILD-VTUNE-DRIVER manual and executed the following:

./build-driver

and the following is the error message:

checking for template makefile ... Makefile.in
checking for kernel h eaders ... /lib/modules/2.6.27.19-5-default/source/include

checking if C compiler supports anonymous structs and unions ... yes

** ERROR: Unable to detect legacy Perfmon2 kernel interface**

I found that perfmon2 is installed in the system, so could someone hint me what could be the culprit here.

Thanks.
