Re: [lttng-dev] Syntax error running lttng

[Paul Coward via lttng-dev <lttng-dev@lists.lttng.org>]

Hi,

Thank you for the response.

I have it installed on a small ARM computer that does not feature many
tools, specifically file & which are missing.

I don't have any shell aliases and the output of find is:
    ~ # find / -name "lttng" 2>/dev/null
    /mnt/sd1/modulesLTTNG/lttng
    /mnt/sd1/modulesLTTNG/lttng/usr/local/bin/lttng
    /mnt/sd1/modulesLTTNG/lttng/usr/local/lib/lttng
    ~ #
Limiting it to finding files is only the one:
    ~ # find / -name "lttng" -type f 2>/dev/null
    /mnt/sd1/modulesLTTNG/lttng/usr/local/bin/lttng
    ~ #

head -n 10 /mnt/sd1/modulesLTTNG/lttng/usr/local/bin/lttng
    outputs binary, examining it on the build computer shows it is an ELF
executable built for ARM

I didn't set up the shell so that could be questionable, but I'm not sure
exactly how.

I couldn't find that error message in the lttng source but to me it looked a
little like errors I have seen from libXML (possibly reaching for straws).

The error message looks like it is trying to read some sort of configuration
file and failing.

I don't have the make output available at the moment but I can regenerate it
tomorrow if it will help.

Do you have any of the logs for the lttng-tools project?

That would be `config.log` and the output from `make` and `make install`

Hmmm that does not look like an error from a elf executable.

Do you have any bash or shell alias for the lttng command?

Please provide the output of the following commands:
  $ file $(which lttng)
  $ head -n 10 $(which lttng)

If this happens also on the `lttng-sessiond` via command line but works
using a service, it would point to weird shell setup.

Me too.

Modules are loaded by the lttng-sessiond executable. Here only the CLI
executable seems to be having some problem.
