[Valgrind-users] Building Valgrind on Solaris

[Matthew W. <mat...@si...>]

X86/Solaris is listed as supported @ http://valgrind.org/info/platforms.html, so I grabbed a copy of valgrind-3.11.0.tar.bz2 and followed the instructions @ http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/dist.install.html, but I got the following error when running configure:
