Hi, Thanks for pointing me to that post. So I downloaded the latest libpfm and pfmon versions from CVS, but I still get the same error with them. pfmon is detecting Nehalem PMU on my machine...below is the output with -I option. I'm also pasting the output with debug and verbose options enabled if that can help in figuring out the issue. Thanks for your help.
