I'm going to recommend dropping this package from Fedora entirely. - Upstream seems to have stopped development on it since intel acquired its developers (opened-hand) - The new profiling tools (perf) are in many cases easier to use than oprofile - oprofileui had a number of bugs that look like they'll not be fixed (profiling a 32bit target from a 64bit host it broken for eg) - the package never really got much interest. (I never heard a single report of someone using it)
if someone wants to take it over from me, I won't stand in their way, but I think it's better to just drop it.

Also there's an oprofile plug-in for Eclipse: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/eclipse-oprofile
