[Valgrind-users] Help getting started

[Michael L. <in...@pa...>]

Starting to use valgrind and I find many errors that I want to suppress. =
=20
Using 1.9.6.  Tried valgrind --gen-suppression but this version did not s=
eem=20
to recognize the option.  So downloaded from CVS but it would not build. =

Please advise.  Thank you.
