Mounting the /proc File System

To debug programs on Compaq Tru64 UNIX, SunOS 5, and IRIX with TotalView, you need to mount the /proc file system.

If you receive one of the following errors from TotalView, the /proc file system might not be mounted:

• job_t::launch, creating process: process not found
 
• Error launching process while trying to read dynamic symbols
   
• Creating Process... Process not found
Clearing Thrown Flag
Operation Attempted on an unbound d_process object

To determine whether the /proc file system is mounted, enter the appropriate command from the following table.

Operating System	Command
Compaq Tru64 UNIX	% /sbin/mount -t procfs /proc on /proc type procfs (rw)
SunOS 5	% /sbin/mount | grep /proc /proc on /proc read/write/setuid on ...
IRIX	% /sbin/mount | grep /proc /proc on /proc type proc (rw)

If you receive one of these messages from the mount command, the /proc file system is mounted.
