[Valgrind-users] Compile Valgrind 1.9.6 on Red Hat 9

[Richard R. <ri...@pa...>]

Although I can compile Valgrind on RH7.3 and RH8.0, on
Red Hat 9 I am getting the following error (both with
the Red Hat supplied gcc 3.2.2 and the gcc 3.2.3 that
I built):

valgrind-1.9.6]$ ./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/valgrind --with-x
...
Using the following suppressions by default:

       glibc-2.2.supp xfree-4.supp xfree-3.supp
...
make
...

Any ideas on how to fix this Assertion failure?
