I was trying to build pfmon for the 2.6.25 kernel, and by default, it put all the libraries in /usr/local exactly as any good tarball install should do. But when I built the kernel and rebooted to it and then tried to build the utility itself, its Makefile included the correct links to allow it to build. But the installed build could not then find its libraries because the path to them was not in the working pathlist for ldconfig. That seems almost like an immature attempt at vendor lock in to me and leaves a bad taste. I added it, but now I seem to be lost in a shimmering cloud of acronyms as it now says the PMU in my machine is not supported. No mention of it in any of the Makefiles for pfmon. I'm assuming its a memory manager. And as this board has run relatively well for about 4 years now, I have to assume that the AMD XP-2800 & NForce2 chipset it uses does have such a beastie. So what exactly is a PMU? Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
