Make sure "Amelia.so.profile" does not already exist in that directory.
After that, run again, Amelia.so.profile is created, but on Debian it all ends in blotto
$ sprof ~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.15/Amelia/libs/Amelia.so /tmp/oout/home/pauljohn/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.15/Amelia/libs/Amelia.so.profile

That's supposed to be a flaw in glibc that has existed for a long time. Crum.
People say 'switch to oprofile' which is not available for Debian yet in newest version. Have compiled 0.9.8 and am testing.

Humphf. Apparently, I was here at this same point in 2009. The email list r-sig-debian in June 30, 2009, has several questions by me about the same problem. And an effort to use the Google profile tool instead.

There's a good chance I will learn a different mistake, write it down here, and completely forget about it. gloomy, that.
