/lib32/ld-2.19.so _init() instrumentation failed

[Xiaofeng_J_]

I use tried to use vtune 2013/2015 to get info from some pin-based simulator on ubuntu12.03.

/opt/intel/vtune_amplifier_xe_2013/bin64/amplxe-cl -collect hotspots -app-working-dir /home/parsec -- /home/parsec/run.parsec.sh

The result:

amplxe: Collection started. To stop the collection, either press CTRL-C or enter from another console window: amplxe-cl -r /home/zsim/r000hs -command stop.
amplxe: Warning: [2016.01.20 16:19:07] /lib32/ld-2.19.so _init() instrumentation failed.

amplxe: Error: [Instrumentation Engine]: Attach to pid 4960 failed: Operation not permitted

What may cause this error? I run vtune with root and how can I give it more permission?

Are you trying to profile a "pin-based simulator"?  If so, you will not be able to use any of the software-based analysis types (basic hotspots, concurrency, and locks and wait) because the are all pin-based!! :p

Try advanced-hotspots, instead.
