I've installed systemtap. Shall I install dtrace?

Hello,

On our systemtap testmachine we have the dtrace command available:

-bash-4.2$ dtrace --help
Usage /usr/bin/dtrace [--help] [-h | -G] [-C [-I<Path>]] -s File.d [-o <File>]
Where -h builds a systemtap header file from the .d file
-C when used with -h, also run cpp preprocessor
-o specifies an explicit output file name,
the default for -G is file.o and -h is file.h
-I when running cpp pass through this -I include Path
-s specifies the name of the .d input file
-G builds a stub file.o from file.d,
which is required by some packages that use dtrace.

I'm not the guy who has implemented/installed it for us, but I think
that when you install systemtap you should also get a utility called
dtrace.

I got the same problem and I gave up. Systemtap package seems not to be recognized by Erlang. Instead, dtrace package works like a charm.

Systemtap already comes with a dtrace script preprocessor. No need to
install both Systemtap and Dtrace.

Have you installed the systemtap-sdt-devel package? It contains the
dtrace preprocessor you need and the sys/sdt.h header needed to
compile the VM with tracing enabled.

sudo yum install systemtap-sdt-devel
