You don't need to run yelp with any additional arguments. You just need to run:
G_SLICE=always-malloc G_DEBUG=gc-friendly valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --num-callers=40 --log-file=valgrind.log yelp Before you do this though, you will probably need to install some debugging symbols. The procedure for doing this is detailed in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash. Please add the necessary repositories as detailed in this URL, then run the following to install the debugging symbols that I think you'll need: sudo apt-get install yelp-dbgsym libc6-dbgsym libc6-i686-dbgsym libstdc++6-dbgsym xulrunner-1.9-dbgsym libgtk2.0-0-dbgsym libglib2.0-0-dbgsym -- yelp crashed with SIGSEGV in malloc() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296903 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
