How to configure hardware counters on linux platforms

Hi team,

While we are trying to enable hardware counters on red hat linux in collect command we encountered the below listed message

./collect -h

HW counter profiling is not supported on this system: perf_event and libperfctr.so are not available for HW counter profiling.

We aren't sure how to include the library files to the path. Please help us.

Sun Solaris Studio 12.4 . Linux version RHEL 5.3

Thanks

Sattish.

Hi Sattish,

This is a very difficult task to configure RHEL 5.3 so that it will provide access to HWC.

Do you have a RHEL 6.x system? On RHEL 6.x "collect" should be able to access HWC.

Thanks.

Nik
