Ah, I was looking at a similar thing on the train this morning ... can
you send yours?  This patch made the problem go away (now using the PMNS
PDUs with pmcd, instead of an explicit namespace file to pminfo, in the
default case).

The root (of ./Install giving bogus warnings) seems to be this:
$ pminfo -n /var/lib/pcp/pmns/root -f mmv
mmv: pmLookupDesc: Unknown or illegal metric identifier

So, I used the attached patch & the correct values are reported by Install.
What was your approach?

cheers.
