Valgrind: Killed (FC5)

[wwp]

Hi there,

I'm trying to use valgrind in FC5..

$ valgrind --help
Killed

Any other attempt to run valgrind w/ a correct command-line gives the same
error (user or root). I tried valgrind-3.1.0-2 or 3.1.1 from the sources.

FYI, kernel is 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5.custom3 (stripped down to me smaller towards
hardware drivers), no se_linux.

Any hint? Did I miss anything?

Hi wwp!

Just some thoughts.

Can you find the files not found in the strace (missing or unavailable
(permissions) dependencies)?

How (what applications) manage memory in FC5 and how well do they cooperate
with valgrind?

Good hunting!

Those lines are quite normal, at least usual, it's just looking for libc.so.6
in a specific list of paths. As you could see, it finally founds it in /lib:
> open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY)        = 4

IIRC I always see this when running a program in strace.

Well, there's nothing "unusual" here, and resources are not stressed (1GB
mem, very few buffers/swap used). I run some desktop/development stuff (mail,
browser, gcc, etc.) as I always did, and attempted to valgrind as it used to
work. I tried w/ all apps closed, this didn't help, as I expected.

But did you try with the Fedora Core valgrind packages? (yum install
valgrind) ? They work fine here.

Yes, sorry, I wasn't clear enough: the "valgrind-3.1.0-2" is the FC5 one.

`yum search valgrind` (excerpts):
valgrind.i386                            1:3.1.0-2              installed

Sorry for replying to myself, but I've found something interesting: when I
boot w/ the  2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 kernel, valgrind works. With my
2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.custom kernel, it doesn't. I'll try to find what kernel
option is missing or blocking, anyone has a clue about this?

"strace valgrind --help" might give you a clue.

I suppose that you didn't follow get the whole thread, as this is exactly

Okay, for the archives:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=14946071
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117290

it's a known bug, fixed in current 3.2.0 release candidate:
http://www.valgrind.org/downloads/valgrind-3.2.0rc1.tar.bz2

I'm just amazed that nobody got it here excepted me!
