Hey guys,
I'd like to hear some reccomendations on tools for monitoring applications created in C++ (with SDL) and reporting any and all memory leaks. I tried Memprof but couldn't get it to work

Well I've used electric fence in the past with some success.
Many others suggest valgrind as an alternative.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Yeah, I used gprof once, but I didn't have profiling support compiled in my kernel. If you are looking at profiling, (you are), you need to enable profiling support.
kernel-2.6.*
profiling support->profiling support[*]

I personally use valgrind and gprof. I used electric fence in the past, but I don't think its being maintained any longer, and I believe it doesn't work if NPTL is enabled.

Not a reccomendation (never used it), but you are free to check it out for yourself:
