freebsd stable - May 2010 - dtrace problem?

Hi,

Running a recent RELENG_8 (FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE #0: Tue May 18 23:37:37
PDT 2010), I'm having a problem using dtrace.  For every .d file I attempt
to compile, I get:

  dtrace: failed to compile script test.d: "/usr/lib/dtrace/psinfo.d",
line 37: syntax error near "uid_t"

This is my first attempt to use dtrace, so I can't be sure if it worked
before.  It happens with some scripts that can be assumed to be valid,
so it's not just me.  Is it broken for anyone else?

Thanks,

Marcus

Hi,

Have you rebuilt your kernel as described here : http://wiki.freebsd.org/DTrace

I was once getting "uid_t" errors when my kernel was not compiled with
"WITH_CTF" option.
