Advisor 2021.2 Linux assertion fail 'Metrics Discovery library not found'

[Winfried]

Hi,

I am working on an Intel i5-8250U laptop with OpenSuse linux 15.2 (which is very similar to Suse SLES 15 SP2).

In installed OneAPI basekit and hpckit according to the installation instructions:

sudo zypper addrepo https://yum.repos.intel.com/oneapi oneAPI
sudo zupper install intel-basekit intel-hpcki

VTune and Inspector work fine.
When I open Advisor with:

/opt/intel/oneapi/advisor/2021.2.0/bin64/advisor-gui

 the Advisor GUI appears. Everytime I select my project and click on the "Run analysis" button an "Intel advisor caused an assertion failure" dialog appears with the following text:

The assertion dialog then tries to collect data to send an error report to Intel, but the collection process gets stuck when the progress bar is at appr. 25%. When I close the assertion dialog the GUI is still visible, but when I try to start the analysis nothing seems to happen.

Searching for library libmd.so.1 gives no result:

linux-wdobbe:/opt/intel/oneapi # find . -name libmd.so*
./vtune/2021.3.0/system_analyzer/target/libmd.so
linux-wdobbe:/opt/intel/oneapi #

Thanks in advance for any advice how to resolve this,
