To print the syscall name, the audit-libs-python package
should be required. If not installed, print
the erron string e.g.

    # perf script syscall-counts
    Install the audit-libs-python package to get syscall names.

But the package name is different in Ubuntu
so append examples the erron string like below.
(similar to a error message of util/trace-event-scripting.c)

    # perf script syscall-counts
    Install the audit-libs-python package to get syscall names.
    For example:
      # apt-get install python-audit (Ubuntu)
      # yum install audit-libs-python (Fedora)
      etc.
