Description of problem: The Ceph distributed filesystem relies heavily on tcmalloc. The tcmalloc library is more efficient than the glibc-provided malloc for our memory allocation pattern. Users have asked for an official Ceph RPM for RHEL5. We have an RPM, but one issue that is frustrating us is the lack of an official tcmalloc package for Red Hat. tcmalloc is part of google-perftools. However, we don't need all of google-perftools, just tcmalloc itself. (There is a bug in an unrelated part of google-perftools which makes it perhaps not suitable for pacakaging at this moment.) We'd like Ceph to work as best as it possibly can on Red Hat. Additional info: The ceph mailing list is at ceph-devel.org Google-perftools is at http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/
Try EPEL, it's a little late in the RHEL5 cycle to be adding new packages.
