Deployment of systemtap in centos 5.5

Systemtap of Version 5.5/1.1 is installed by default in centos 0.141, but the corresponding debuginfo-common and debuginfo packages must be installed for running systemtap normally.

The default kernel of centos 5.5 is 2.6.18-194.
The corresponding version of debuginfo-common, debuginfo package cannot be found on the http://debuginfo.centos.org/5. However, you can find the debuginfo-common and debuginfo packages of other versions, such as 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5. Therefore, you can first upgrade the kernel to 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5, and then install the corresponding version of the package.

You can download the following package and install it in sequence (the RPM package and kernel version must strictly match ):

Kernel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.x86_64.rpm

After the installation is complete, start 2.6.18-194.8.1 to run systemtap. If the systemtap version is considered too low, you can download the systemtap source code for installation.

The following describes the impact of each RPM package. We can use the rpm-QL registration to check the location of the installation file after the RPM package is installed.
