Yourkit profiling and 64bit JVM on Linux

Hello Charles,

I added -agentlib:yjpagent=disablej2ee,sessionname=IntelliJIDEA to
my idea.vmoptions to enable memory and cpu profiling, but I keep
getting this error:

Could not find agent library on the library path or in the local
directory: yjpagent

This works fine "out-of-the-box" on my 32 bit linux box. Is there any
instructions on enabling this for 64 bit environments?

Download the YourKit Linux distribution from http://www.yourkit.com/ and
replace libyjpagent.so from the IDEA bin directory with the correct version
taken from the distribution.

Will there be
an "out-of-box" version provided?

We are very much reluctant to add one more flavor to the 5 existing flavors
of IntelliJ IDEA distribution. We can add the 64-bit versions of the binaries
to the standard Linux distribution, but you'll need to copy the correct version
of the binaries manually anyway.

Thanks for the response. I will give it a try.

Unfortunately, I need a license to download the 64 bit libraries. I guess I will continue to determine why IDEA 7 and 8 (both latest EAP's) keeps crashing and/or locking up in my new 64 bit OS using the 32 bit version of the JVM.

I have the Idea working with the 32 bit JVM by setting the memory to 1024m, even though it only uses about 300m. Will do more investigation.

It appears the 64-bit library files are now included with IDEA (at least as of EAP build 94.585 for me). See my reply on this other thread for a "quick fix." HTH!
