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.
