Description Cassiano Martin 2013-10-29 01:51:06 UTC 
Procps suite is goes nuts with my mips64 board. the problem seem harmless, as I read from the gentoo forums. All binaries included in procps suite show the same message "Unknown HZ value! (XX) Assume 100.", like top, ps, uptime, et all.

Attached is a patch from the gentoo, which seems to solve this. it works fine for x86 and mips64 as I tested.

Comment 2 Thomas Petazzoni 2013-11-13 23:36:02 UTC 
Instead, we should switch the procps package to use procps-ng, at http://sourceforge.net/projects/procps-ng/. This one has an active upstream, with a Git repository and so on.

Cassiano, would you be willing to provide a patch to Buildroot that does this?

Patch provided.

Working fine with no more patches on x86, x86_64 and mips64.

I''l leave to the buildroot devs find out why configure script concatenates exec-prefix, resulting in a bogus path. As a workaround I had to set --exec-prefix=/

Hi Cassiano, 

Would you mind sending also this patch to the mailing list instead?

Thanks,
Thomas

Procps-ng is merged now, making this as resolved.
