Stephane,
Yes, he did.
Debian currently has:
ii  libpfm         2.0-6          IA-64 Performance Monitor (PMU) -- runt-time
ii  libpfm-dev     2.0-6          IA-64 Performance Monitor (PMU) -- developme
ii  pfmon          3.0-2          a performance monitoring tool for Linux/ia64

The pfmon from debian was probably built against "2.0-6" libpfm.
Is that bad?
I'll try this pfmon under 2.6 and see how that works.

"make install" default is "DESTDIR=/usr/local".
If I rebuild the pfmon package, it's unlikely to find that by default.

yup - that's what I'm using here.

BTW, Once this is resolved,  someone will need to update the "README"
for q-tools or create a debian package for q-tools.

thanks,
