Hi, I tried to use massif (memory profile) tool on firefox browser. Valgrind can run through the test run but there is no summary output created (the ps profile file). Does anybody know about what was probably gone wrong? The command I used was /opt/valgrind/bin/valgrind --tool=massif firefox A following question. When I ran valgrind on application "xterm", I got error message saying "valgrind: /usr/bin/xterm: Permission denied". I got the error message even I ran it as root. Does anybody know why? Thanks Haifeng |

Sounds a bit like http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119404 It describes a few scenarios where valgrind decides to not execute a binary, leading to the "permission denied" error message. Is xterm perhaps a suid binary on your system or not readable? Neither is the case on two systems I just had a look at, though. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. |
