Hi,

I'm trying to install "systemtap", and when I emerge it, I get this error:

Code:

>>> checking systemtap-20060325.tar.bz2 ;-)
* systemtap needs CONFIG_RELAYFS_FS in the kernel
* enable it under Filesystems -> Pseudo filesystems -> Relayfs.

!!! ERROR: dev-util/systemtap-20060325 failed.
Call stack:
ebuild.sh, line 1555: Called dyn_setup
ebuild.sh, line 668: Called pkg_setup
systemtap-20060325.ebuild, line 29: Called die

!!! CONFIG_RELAYFS_FS not present
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

My first reflex was to check this option in the Kernel (as mentioned

), but it doesn't appear !! Here's the output of my pseudo filesystem section:

Code:

# Pseudo filesystems
#
CONFIG_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_PROC_KCORE=y
CONFIG_SYSFS=y
CONFIG_TMPFS=y
# CONFIG_HUGETLBFS is not set
# CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is not set
CONFIG_RAMFS=y
CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS=m

There's no "CONFIG_RELAYFS_FS"

, I've only a "CONFIG_RELAY=y" in "general setup". Strange enough, isn't it ?

I'm using

Code:

uname -r
2.6.17-gentoo-r8

How can I resolve this issue ?

Thank a lot for your help !

EDIT: it seems that in new kernels (2.6.17), developpers get rid of this option... Hum :S...

Code:

│ Symbol: RELAY [=n]
│ Prompt: Kernel->user space relay support (formerly relayfs)
│ Defined at init/Kconfig:217
│ Location:
│ -> General setup
│ Selected by: BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE && SYSFS

Perhaps if you set RELAY systemtap will be happy, if not it's a bug. Please file one then
