oprofile unable to produce call graph

Question

I am trying to use oprofile to generate call graph. Compiler is g++, platform is linux x86-64, linker is gfortran

C++ code is compiled with -fno- omit-frame-pointer. oprofile is started with --callgraph=25. report I run with --callgraph.

the call graph is produced but it's only includes self time, which is not much use

what am I missing?

@Paul yes, linker and compiler get -g. I can produce annotated code as well — Anycorn, May 25 '10 at 17:54
FWIW: here's my viewpoint that the call graph is perhaps not what you need: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1777556/alternatives-to-gprof/1779343#1779343 — Mike Dunlavey, May 25 '10 at 18:30

Check if opcontrol --status does not have

Call-graph depth: 0

in its output. If it does, stop profiling, do opcontrol --callgraph=<desired call stack depth>, and restart profiling.
