[Orca-users] Trouble running Orca for the first time

[rhfreeman at micron.com]

Orca has two stages. 1st is the collector, the 2nd is the graph
generate. The bit you are running is the 2nd bit, but it is of course
useless without any data to pass to it!

In the contrib directory of the orca tarball, there is a program called
"procallactor.pl" then you can use under Linux to monitor it's
statistics. You will need to run this first. If you are already running
this, make sure that procallactor & orca are expecting the same
directories for all the data.

Cheers,

Rich
