And this is the caveat of the oprofile plugin. It needs the native 
binary to communicate with OProfile due to EPL/GPL incompatibilities. I 
foresee these native bits being a problem for cross distribution 
compatibility.

The source for opxml is in the 
org.eclipse.linuxtools.oprofile.core_0.1.0.200901141551/natives/linux/opxml 
directory. A `make` and `mv` to the aforementioned opxml directory 
should fix it. Let me know how it goes :)
