That sounds like it will fix the problem, pretty much permanently (until further
requirements happen).
Definitely in favour of that. :)

It's not the problem. For me anyway.
To clarify, systemtap-sdt-devel is already installed. Doing a brand new autogen.sh,
then
compiling normally with:
I find the following messages from autogen.sh's output:
running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh /bin/sh ./configure --with-dtrace=no --no-create
--no-recursion
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
You have disabled dtrace, so make -j 3 does not fail.
Please run ./configure again, and check whether dtrace is enabled.
Thanks
Wen Congyang
make -j 3
Goes through to successful completion. All good.
It's only "make rpm" which is having the problem:
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt/src'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `probes.h', needed by `distdir'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt/src'
make[1]: *** [distdir] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jc/git_repos/libvirt'
make: *** [rpm] Error 2
So, it sounds like there's something rpm specific which needs kicking into shape.
Attaching the full session log file, showing the autogen run, the normal make run,
and the make rpm run. Hopefully it helps. :)

Yep, sounds like it. :)
