There is a warning in the README: Important! Do not move the valgrind installation into a place different from that specified by --prefix at build time. This will cause things to break in subtle ways, mostly when Valgrind handles fork/exec calls. I generally cannot tolerate this restriction, so I went into the code to see what it would take to remove it, and I found the undocumented environment variable VALGRIND_LIB (which tells where Valgrind files live) and some code to determine at run time from what file the program was invoked. I didn't find the name of my "prefix" directory used anywhere except where subject to the VALGRIND_LIB environment variable. Does this mean the warning from the README is obsolete, or is the problem even more subtle? -- Bryan Henderson Phone 408-621-2000 San Jose, California |
