Hi all,
Unfortunately the VTune installer does not work in Gentoo. It fails with a "Error obtaining shared lock in the RPM Database" message, error that I was not able to correct. Also, the Vtune installer consists of a number of RPM packages wrapped in a binary file, therefore installing the packages is not easy. This just means it is more work involved.
At the end, I was able to install it on Gentoo (kernel 2.4.27), but requires some amount of work and a Red Hat distribution. I believe an ebuild is not possible, given the actual license of Intel. But I can post the procedure and the custom scripts I made to install the VTune.
The procedure consists of the following steps:
Installing VTune in Red Hat
Copy /opt/intel/vtune directory
Copy /opt/intel/licenses directory
Copy /opt/sag directory
Copy /etc/dcom directory
Compile the VDK for Gentoo
Create the sag group (GID:107)
Create the sag user (UID:507)
Create custom init scripts for dcom, vtune and vtl
Add the users to the vtune group.
To compile the VDK, just execute:
| Code: |
cd /opt/intel/vtune/vdk/src/
./build-driver
cp vtune_drv-x32-<your-kernel-version>.o ..
|
To create the group and user execute (don't forget to set a password for sag):
| Code: |
groupadd -g 107 sag
useradd -u 507 -g sag sag
passwd sag
|
Now, four custom files. Two of them are for initializing the services, the others are for setting the environment variables automatically.

LDPATH="/opt/sag/exx/v611/lib"
SAG="/opt/sag"
EXXDIR="/opt/sag/exx"
EXXVERS="v611"
|
Finally, to add the scripts to start at boot up:
| Code: |
rc-update add dcom default
rc-update add vtune default
|
And to refresh the environment:
| Code: |
env-update
source /etc/profile
|
Hope this is useful for everyone.
Cheers! |
