Haven't tried but it would be a serious fail if anything was distro 
specific. Probably it is just a matter of installing correct 
development/header packages. Please share more details of the problem.

According to the link this contains a package called 
intel-gpu-tools-1.23-lp1152.2.9.src.rpm. Version 1.23 was released in 
2018 and there definitely were a bunch of fixes since. So you definitely 
want something newer. At least 1.25 but ideally git master.

Just in case two questions:

1)
Obviously your kernel is newer than 4.16? :)

2)
Please paste:
  * Output from lspci
  * ls -ld /sys/devices/i915*/events/
  * ls -l /sys/devices/i915*/events/
