[Valgrind-users] problems running valgrind

[Daniel <e_...@ea...>]

Greetings, all.

I just installed valgrind, and I am getting the following message when  
I attempt to run it:

	valgrind: failed to start tool 'memcheck' for platform 'amd64-linux':  
No such file or directory

But, memcheck exists and is in the path.  (I added /usr/local/lib/ 
valgrind/amd64-linux to the path after first seeing this error, in an  
attempt to resolve it.)

I get that error no matter what I try to do; here are a few examples:

> % valgrind --version
> valgrind: failed to start tool 'memcheck' for platform 'amd64- 
> linux': No such file or directory
> % valgrind /bin/ls
> valgrind: failed to start tool 'memcheck' for platform 'amd64- 
> linux': No such file or directory

> % ls -l /usr/local/lib/valgrind/amd64-linux/memcheck
> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5536161 2008-07-23 14:34 /usr/local/lib/ 
> valgrind/amd64-linux/memcheck

OS is SLES10, on AMD 64-bit.

I have searched the documentation, the FAQ, the archives, and Google  
for anything related this error.  It's very possible that I have  
missed something, but all I have been able to find is other users who  
are having the same problem, but who are directed to this list for  
help - I have yet to find a solution.

I will greatly appreciate any advice or guidance you can give.

Thanks.

Daniel
