    Profiler Valgrind

    Hi everyone,

    I'm having trouble with this Valgrind to profile a program I built. I get the following error:

    ==6403==
    valgrind: vg_libpthread.c:2331 (open64): Assertion `open64_ptr != ((void *)0) && open64_ptr != open64' failed.

    ==6403== Please report this bug at: valgrind.kde.org

    I am running linux 64bits and valgrind-2.2.0. Anyone know how to fix this or what might be the problem?

    Thanks,

    Ed.

    Looks like you need a later version of Valgrind.

    2.2.0 is really old. I have 3.3.1.

    [edit] I should probably mention that you likely won't have to get the source from CVS by now. Just download 3.3.0 or 3.3.1 or something and everything should be all right.

    If you're using Linux, you might want to use a package manager to upgrade the version on your system. [/edit]

    Do I need to install something else before I install valgrind-3.3.1 ?

    What Linux distro are you using? Looks like Fedora. I can't believe that it doesn't provide a valgrind package. That would be a lot easier than compiling your own.
    For example, here's one for valgrind 3.2.1.
    http://www.icewalkers.com/rpm/valgri...rind-3388.html

    As for the error, that is due to trying to link against the static libmpi. I don't know why mpicc would do that - either you don't have a dynamic version installed, or perhaps it stupidly tries to link against the static library directly.
    All the buzzt!

    Thank you for your help.

    A friend here helped me install it with.
    yum search valgrind,
    and then yum install.
