I'm using the kernel 2.6.26 , processor pentium 4 HT.
But while tryimg to install i m getting the following error .. Pls help me

Are you using a 2.6.26 kernel patched with perfmon2 ???.
And libpfm ???.

Have a look at the README you got from the unrolled tar for pfmon.

Thanks buddy ....

yaa ... i installed the kernel 2.6.26 newly and installed libpfm also ..
Is there any prob related with my processor (P4 HT) ???

Vanilla 2.6.26 doesn't include perfmon2 - it needs to be patched. Some distros (RHEL maybe ???) may have the support in there for you, I don't know.
I had downloaded the patches (for 2.6.25 as it happens) but hadn't done anything with them. Applying the patch adds perfmon2.txt to the source tree under ../Documentation - easy way to check if the patch is on. For the config, there are several options for the different architectures - P4 amongst them; try grep'ing the config for "perfm".

I'm just re-building the kernel now; hopefully I'll be in a position to test all this tomorrow.

Later: everything built o.k. for me. To check for perfmon2, see if /sys/kernel/perfmon exists or not.

Seems to work as advertised (quick test only). You need to get the right levels of all the software - but that shouldn't affect the build, rather execution later.

Runs on my old (quad) P III Xeon machine, so your P4 should be o.k.

There is a GUI front-end for pfmon from one of the guys at CERN - look for gpfmon.

thanku for ur immediate reply ...

But the problem is still not fixed .
I ll list what i've done so far. I patched the 2.6.26 kernel with perfmon2 patch(and as u
mentioned the Documentaion contains perfmon2.txt ) , installed libpfm ,
and afetr dat i m trying to install pfmon-3.5 . But getting the same error
May be i m embarrassed .. but i m absolutely new to linux ...

yeaa .......

UPDATE: Sorry to post it so late. I just missed it.
Solved the problem by commenting the lines which gave me error in the source. I m using pentium 4.Some error was coming agian with something related with AMD. I commented some lines which contained the AMD processor specifications also. Just tried it blindly. May be a wrong way to do, but it worked for me

Thanks
