• REQUIREMENTS Please download the following library file and install it exactly as below; do NOT use "make install".

    cd elfutils-0.144

    ./configure

    make

    mkdir /usr/local/include/elfutils/

    cp ./libdw/libdw.h /usr/local/include/elfutils/libdw.h

    cp ./libdwfl/libdwfl.h /usr/local/include/elfutils/libdwfl.h

    cp ./libdw/dwarf.h /usr/local/include/dwarf.h

    cp ./libelf/libelf.h /usr/local/include/libelf.h

    cp ./libelf/gelf.h /usr/local/include/gelf.h
