Sarah, it sounds like you might not have the python plugin installed. I know of no distro, for example, that ships the python plugin today, so I run into this issue a lot. Or, if you did, you probably didn't have python-dev and/or swig installed when building (though I think if you have python-dev but not swig it actually errors out, but when you don't have python-dev it skips python.) > > I do not remember to have changed anything in the trace-cmd source code > > that i downloaded from your repo. But you probably compiled and installed it, right? johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-trace-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
