While installing Oprofile-0.9.3 through ./configure --with-kernel-support, the following error is shown.
From the error its apparent that it is liberty package which needs to be installed but I am not able to resolve this as I found it difficult to get this package which includes liberty.
Or else can we play around with Yum to install all the dependency packages required to install Oprofile?
Following is the error.

Any help will be appreciated.

It's actually not looking
It's actually not looking for a liberty package... it is looking for the header file 'libiberty.h' or the library 'iberty'. These are generally part of binutil-dev, or libbinutil-dev packages. These are fairly common packages which you shouldn't have much trouble finding.
Search your distor for a package containing the 'libiberty.h' file and install that package. That will likely resolve your problem.
Memphis, Thanks for your
Memphis,
Thanks for your reply.
Are binutil-dev and libbinutil-dev part of binutils and libbinutils packages respectively?
I couldn't find binutil-dev or the latter one.
Its a fedora core 6 workstation.
Any pointer to these packages would be a great help.

Usually these are split into
Usually these are split into separate packages. Binutils typically has executables useful for development, whereas binutils-dev has headers and libraries. It looks like for fedora, you'll want to install the 'binutils-devel' package.
If that fails, you might try searching with yum. Something like:
yum provides libiberty.h
That command should search for packages containing the libiberty.h file.
I found that gcc will have
I found that gcc will have libiberty.h file but there was already a gcc installed but through RPM. I downloaded gcc source code and built it from source and that successfully eliminated the error.
Thanks,
Ram
