From valgrind/FAQ.txt:

Q5. I try running "valgrind my_program", but my_program runs normally,
    and Valgrind doesn't emit any output at all.

A5. Is my_program statically linked?  Valgrind doesn't work with
    statically linked binaries.  my_program must rely on at least one
    shared object.  To determine if a my_program is statically linked,
    run:

      ldd my_program

    It will show what shared objects my_program relies on, or say:

      not a dynamic executable

    if my_program is statically linked.
