So what to do instead? The instructions say:
The documentation is simply telling you to do an out of source build. I'm not sure if you can use the same prefix for each different architecture; I'd say try it and test. I wouldn't say it's a huge deal to have the user choose their architecture though. In general, on Linux, you can't mix multiple archs to create anything like OS X's universal binary. So the exact same executable file cannot be executable on both ppc and x86_64, for example. Anyway, the process you want is something like this: cd /to/some/valgrind/directory wget http://.../valgrind-3.4.1.tar.bz2 tar jxvf valgrind-3.4.1.tar.bz2 mkdir x86_64-build mkdir x86-build mkdir ppc-build # or whatever, continue as necessary cd x86_64-build ../valgrind-3.4.1/configure --whatever # options appropriate for x86_64 make # likely `make install' too. cd ../x86-build ../valgrind-3.4.1/configure --whatever # options appropriate for x86 make and so on and so forth, once for each arch. "--whatever" might include "--prefix=/shared/disk/valgrind" in each case; but like I mentioned initially it might need to be "--prefix=/shared/disk/valgrind/x86_64", "--prefix=/shared/disk/valgrind/x86", etc. HTH, -tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
