Re: [DynInst_API:] Build error dyninst-8.2 -> /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lLINK_PRIVATE

[Matthew LeGendre <legendre1@xxxxxxxx>]

That command would get you the HEAD, which is different from the 8.2 
branch.  After you clone the dyninst repo, you could switch to the 8.2 
branch with the command 'git checkout v8.2'.
Alternatively, You could just download a snapshot tarball of the 8.2 
branch from: 
http://git.dyninst.org/?p=dyninst.git;a=snapshot;h=refs/heads/v8.2;sf=tgz
And rzmerl was just down for a couple hours this morning for an upgrade to 
RHEL 6.5.  In the process it looks like the default cmake was bumped up to 
version 2.8.10.1--so this bug probably just went away on its own.  rzmerl 
is back up now.
