Hello all!
OProfile with Eclipse is not working inside my Ubuntu910 box (kernel 2.6.31-22-generic). If anybody could shed some light on this I'd be very thankful!

I've tried to run OProfile and have done the following:
Recompiled oprofile9.6 (./configure --with-kernel-support)
Compiled and installed OPXML.
Installed the plugin using install-noconsolehelper.sh.
Up to this point all went fine.
When I tried profiling with OProfile from Eclipse I get this message:

Could not find an OpxmlProvider, or no opxml binary exists. Please fix the issue before continuing.
Plug-in "org.eclipse.linuxtools.oprofile.core" was unable to instantiate class " org.eclipse.linuxtools.oprofile.core.linux.x86.LinuxOpxmlPro vider32 ".
Could not find an OpxmlProvider, or no opxml binary exists. Please fix the issue before continuing.

When I go to the command line and run opcontrol, run my executable, stop opcontrol, then run opxml sessions and get
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sessions>
<event name="CPU_CLK_UNHALTED">
<session name="current">
</session>
</event>
</sessions>

Then I run opxml model-data CPU_CLK_UNHALTED current and get
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<model-data>
<image name="<PATH TO EXECUTABLE>/<EXECUTABLE>" count="121">
<symbols>
<symbol name="main" file="<PATH TO EXECUTABLE>/../main.cpp" count="57">

<dependent count="55">
<image name="[vdso]" count="29">
</image>
<image name="[vdso]" count="26">
</image>
</dependent>
</image>
</model-data>

So apparently the class LinuxOpxmlProvider32.class located in <ECLIPSE PATH> /plugins/org.eclipse.linuxtools.oprofile.core.linux.x86_0.3. 0.201009101021/org/eclipse/linuxtools/oprofile/core/linux/x8 6 cannot be used, somehow...
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Ben,

It looks like opxml isn't at the right place where the oprofile plug-in expects it. Let's try to confirm that theory.

First, find out where the plug-in is. You could use something like the following to guide you:

$ sudo updatedb
$ locate org.eclipse.linuxtools.oprofile.core.linux.x86

Then, change directory to the location of this folder and see if opxml is there

$ cd path/to/org.eclipse.linuxtools.oprofile.core.linux.x86
$ find ./ -name opxml

The above command should find opxml. If it gives you zero results, opxml isn't at the right place. Please move it there and try again. The plug-in expects the opxml binary at

path/to/org.eclipse.linuxtools.oprofile.core.linux.x86/os/linux/x86

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers,
Severin
