The patch applies cleanly to oprofile 0.9.7 and builds on fc17. What was the error you got? How are you configuring it? You should be able to do something like: cd oprofile-0.9.7 patch -p1 -b < ~/oprofile-0.9.7-xen.patch ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-kernel-support --enable-gui=qt4 Alternative you should be able to down load the src rpm from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=276310 then yum-builddep oprofile-0.9.7-1.src.rpm rpm -Uvh oprofile-0.9.7-1.src.rpm cd ~/rpmbuild/SPEC rpmbuild -b oprofile.spec Will _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
