Hi Shiva,

It is unlikely that oprofile is causing the build with the other package.  Was there anything else changed in the sources or system?  OProfile does install some additional librarys, but it is unlikely to significantly affect libraries for other things.  If the software that is having this problem is in a git repository you might try to check out earlier versions and see if a specific patch is causing this problem.

By default oprofile should install things in /usr/local/bin/ (o* commands), /usr/local/share/oprofile/, and /usr/local/lib/oprofile.  If you still have the oprofile build directory that installed them, then you should as root be able to the following as root to remove the oprofile installed files:

make uninstall
