From 1b5726220fe16ac38eb2db43e7bc82e69f449fca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Mon, 26 May 2014 16:02:29 -0300 Subject: perf trace: Warn the user when not available When the audit-libs devel package is not found at build time we disable the 'trace' command, as we are not able to map syscall numbers to strings, but then the message the user is presented is cryptic: [root@zoo linux]# trace ls perf: 'ls' is not a perf-command. See 'perf --help'. Fix it by presenting a more helpful message: [root@zoo linux]# trace l trace command not available: missing audit-libs devel package at build time.
