-- You need gtk+ 2.6.0 or better.

-- You need at least Linux 2.6.11

-- The module must be compiled with the same compiler that compiled the

+Also information about whether it works or doesn't work on your distribution

+
+Requirements:
+
+- A Linux kernel version 2.6.11 or newer is required.
+ Unlike Sysprof 0.9, version 0.91 should work fine on SMP systems.
+
+- GTK+ 2.6.0 or newer is required
+
+
+
+Compiling:
+
+- Sysprof must be compiled with the same compiler that compiled the
+ kernel it is going to be used with. Usually this is just the the
+ system compiler, but if you have upgraded your kernel it is
+ possible that the new kernel was compiled with a different compiler
+
+ In that case, "modprobe sysprof-module" will produce this
error message:
insmod: error inserting './sysprof-module.o': -1 Invalid module format
+
+
+Debugging symbols
+
- The programs you want to profile should have debugging symbols, or
you won't get much usable information. On a Fedora Core system,
- installing the relevant -debuginfo packages should do the trick.
+ installing the relevant -debuginfo package should be sufficient.
+
-- To get usable data on the X server:
+- X server.
+
+ The X server as shipped by most distributions uses its own home-rolled
+ module loading system and Sysprof has no way to deal with that, so if you
+ run sysprof with your normal X serverr you won't get any information about
+ how time is spent inside the X server.
+
+ To fix this you have to compile your own X server:
(1) Compile the X server to use ".so" modules:
- Uncomment the line "MakeDllModules Yes" in
- xc/config/cf/xorgsite.def
+ xc/config/cf/xorgsite.def.
+
+ If you are compiling the CVS version of the X server
+ (the one that will eventually become 7.0), then this is
+ already the default.
