Carl,

Thanks for trying trying things out on PPC.  What particular distribution of Linux was being run on the PPC and what version of libpfm is on the machine? Looking through /usr/include/perfmon/*.h don't see that being defined on Fedora21. Doing a "get blame" on ./libpe_utils/op_pe_utils.cpp show the following commit adding the PFMLIB_SUCCESS

commit 8846630b3b2b2a6555d98d388e97bfae496f5222

    Add various utility routines needed by new ocount tool

It looks like this would have been in oprofile-0.9.9 and newer.  I am wondering how that worked in the past.
