README for procps package
=========================
COMPATIBILITY
This code is intended for use with Linux 2.0.xx and above.
Both libc 5 and libc 6 should work.
PS/TOP WCHAN FIELD
INSTALLATION
In past releases, in order to get WCHAN output for ps, you had to
have a psdatabase for each zImage kernel that you generated from
the vmlinux unstripped binary with /sbin/psupdate. With this release,
you should use the System.map automatically generated by Linus' makefile.
'ps' and 'top' will first use the contents of an environment variable
"PS_SYSTEM_MAP" and then look for System.map files along
the followin search path:
/boot/System.map-V, /boot/System.map, /lib/modules/V/System.map,
Here 'V' is the output of "uname -r" and looks like "2.2.0".
Don't forget the dash! In those same locations, remove psdatabase* files.
You may follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.
In case the fancy stuff gives you trouble, you may
use the traditional method: make -f Makefile.noam
If you wish to test before installing, use the scripts
named t, v, and ps/p to ensure the correct libproc
is used during your testing.
BUG REPORTS
Debian users should use the Debian bug tracking system.
Email to albert@users.sf.net or csmall@debian.org will
also work.
