------------------------- End of make.log -----------------

As per the compilation errors in the file lttng-syscalls.c, i dont think these errors are valids. It may be due to somethings else.

Kindly guide how to come over this reinstallation problem of "lttng-modules-dkms" and please let me know if i need to do any other alternatives.

Thanks & Regards,
Somanath

Hi,

In order to trace the kernel, you need the LTTng kernel modules available in
the package "lttng-modules-dkms". So make sure you have these three packages
installed:

# sudo apt-get install lttng-tools lttng-modules-dkms babeltrace

The error message you got indicates that there is simply no LTTng modules
loaded. Please make sure they are loaded and if the problem persist, let us know!

Thanks!
David
