Re: [SYSTEMTAP/PATCH v2 0/6] RT aware systemtap patch set

[Santosh Shukla <sshukla at mvista dot com>]

Frank suggested me to run "make installcheck" on -rt and not-rt mode
which I tried and got build failure saying "./execrc: line 4: runtest:
command not found". Anyone knows how to fix this.

I am building/testing vanilla kernel version 3.14.12-rt9 on x86
Ivybridge box [12 cores HT].
