[lttng-dev] Errors compiling converted tp file

[Alexandre Montplaisir]

Hi,

There is indeed something weird with the lttng-modules package on 12.04. 
But if you are only doing userspace tracing, then that part should not 
matter, all you need is "lttng-tools" and "liblttng-ust-dev".

You also seem to have lots of older package versions installed. This can 
sometimes create problems, as an application can link against one 
version of the UST library, but the tracer control will use another, 
which will result in no tracepoints being taken.

To be safe you might want to remove (with "apt-get purge") everything 
that is listed there, and only reinstall those you need from the PPA. 
This should avoid duplicate versions of liburcu and liblttng-ust*.
Also make sure you have no lingering libraries in /usr/local. This is 
another very common problem!

Let us know if it still doesn't work.

Cheers,
Alexandre
