Cannot locate debugging symbols for file

Hi all,

I'm trying to use Vtune on compute node (I have installed intel_parallel_studio_2018 in a distributed directory by cluster login node ), but amplex return some warnings:

bsub -I -q poe_short -m n300 -n 4 mpirun -np 4 amplxe-cl -collect advanced-hotspots -result-dir my_result -- IMB-MPI1 pingpong

same thing if I load the drivers sep on the node  (cd  /users/home/opt/intel/vtune_amplifier_2018/sepdk/src;  ./insmod-sep -r) .

Can you help me?

Thanks

 Missing debug information for VTune library (libittnotify_collector.so) and C standard library (libc-2.12.so) is not critical to performance analysis. You can ignore these warnings but if you want to have more detailed information about libc functions and source locations you should install libc debug symbols which are usually distributed as a separate debug package of OS.

Thanks,

the strange thing is that it does not happen(missing debug info) if I run amplex from the login node where I installed the intel suite
