IIRC, the libc that ships with "Fisher" supports profiling. So if you
applied the gprof patch and have a recent enough version of libc, you
should be all set.

What exactly do you mean by "can't get things to work right"? What's
failing? How did you compile/link the program? I normally use:

gcc -profile -pg files...
