Ah yes, a bug has been filed for this, and it's going to be a top 
priority for 0.2. It is indeed for root access, since oprofile requires 
root for any of its commands.

In the mean time, you can try what Axel suggested here 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=265355#c1, and simply 
symlink opcontrol in the 
org.eclipse.linuxtools.oprofile.core_0.1.0.200901141551/natives/linux/scripts 
directory to /usr/bin/opcontrol. Let me know if this works for you.

Also, what forums are you referring to?


Thanks,
