Error in VTune installation on Ubuntu 8.04

[vijaygj]

Hi,

I am getting following error message.

crl@crl7-desktop:~/Desktop$ cd vtune_linux_9.1/
crl@crl7-desktop:~/Desktop/vtune_linux_9.1$ sudo ./install.sh
[sudo] password for crl:
ERROR: unable to find command 'patch'.
Please add the location to the above commands to your PATH and re-run the script
Press Enter to continue.

From where I can download this patch file ?

Can this problem be reproduced when you use "root" user to install the product? -Peter

patch is a standard unix/linux utility, which might not be included in a bare minimum linux installation, but surely would be available in your linux software installation menus. If you can 'sudo su -' you can check whether a normal PATH is available when you become root this way.

Hi,

Installing 'patch' utility using synaptic manager solved the problem.

Now I am able to install VTune on ubuntu 8.04.

Thanks for prompt reply :)
