I've contacted upstream (Soeren Sandmann) about this and he definitely recommends statically linking against libbfd and says additionally: """I think bfd using apps in general should do that. On Fedora, "-lbfd" does that by default, so I'd suggest doing the same on Ubuntu/Debian.
Since this is not a problem with sysprof trunk, which doesn't depend on libbfd at all, and not a problem on Fedora, I think it makes more sense to just let Ubuntu/Debian patch this issue. I am not really opposed to taking a patch to make it link libbfd statically on Ubuntu, but I don't have any more stable releases planned for the 1.0 series, unless it gets broken by a kernel update.""" -- Sysprof cannot run, looking for wrong libbfd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46224 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
