VTStartSampling error: internal error occurred in VTStartSampling or VTStopSampling

[maverick6664]

I've got this error when I invoked

profrun -dcache ./setiathome-4.7.i686-pc-linux-gnu.debug

this ./setiathome-4.7.i686-pc-linux-gnu.debug is the name of an application compiled with ICC9.0 -prof-gen-sampling -prof-dir (valid directory).

I'm using RH9 with almost the original configuration. Only glibc has been updated to 2.3.2-27.9.7 because vtune told me to do so when I installed vtune 3.0 for Linux. Cpu is P4 2.8GHz HT, (kernel is the default 2.4.20-8smp).

As a matter of course ICC9.0 is also installed....

What's this error? I'm a newbie of VTune and I have no idea on it..
I chose RH9 because this is supported by VTune 3.0... Is it a problem of VTune or ICC (profrun)??

Thanks in advance!!

EDIT: As "Internal error" sounds unusual, I reported this to Premier support.

Hi maverick:

I'm sorry, but it is not clear if you are reporting an error from the compiler or the analyzer?! profrun is not a VTune analyzer command. I just learned that profrun and -prof-gen-sampling is part of the new 9.0 compiler. So, I'm going to move this topic to the compiler forum.
