Hmm. I do not have this problem on OS X (where I do not have Valgrind installed) as of this morning's trunk. configure correctly determines that valgrind is not present and therefore continues on:

--- MCA component memchecker:valgrind (m4 configuration macro)
checking for MCA component memchecker:valgrind compile mode... static
checking if MCA component memchecker:valgrind can compile... no

...etc.

Note that your message indicates that configure thinks that valgrind support was explicitly requested. In this case, configure thinks, "you explicitly requested it, I cannot provide it, so I should abort rather than give unexpected results."

Can you send your full configure output and config.log?

As an FYI for anyone similarly afflicted:

The only solution I have found is to gut the file
opal/mca/memchecker/valgrind/configure.m4:

# MCA_memchecker_valgrind_CONFIG([action-if-found], [action-if-not- found])
# -----------------------------------------------------------
AC_DEFUN([MCA_memchecker_valgrind_CONFIG],[

       happy=0                      # none_needed
       happy_value=0                # none_needed
memchecker_valgrind_happy=0 # This should suffice to get rid of the
component
       should_build=2
       want_component=0
])dnl

Nothing else will allow you to build unless you have the valgrind headers
installed on your machine.

I am finding that the memchecker code is again breaking the trunk,
specifically on any machine that does not have valgrind installed.
Apparently, memchecker now forces a requirement for valgrind?

Here is what I get:

--- MCA component memchecker:valgrind (m4 configuration macro)
checking for MCA component memchecker:valgrind compile mode... static
checking checking for the valgrind include directory ... none needed
checking valgrind/valgrind.h usability... no
checking valgrind/valgrind.h presence... no
checking for valgrind/valgrind.h... no
configure: WARNING: *** Could not find valgrind header files, as valgrind
support was requested
configure: error: *** Cannot continue


Could somebody please fix this? I thought we had decided many moons ago that we would not require specific debuggers in default build configurations - I
am somewhat surprised, therefore, to find that memchecker is "on" by
default, and now requires valgrind!

I have tried --disable-memchecker, but nothing will allow me to get past
this error.

Thanks
Ralph
