Onderwerp: [dyne:bolic] A little help?
I am trying to compile valgrind 3.6.1. from source. It was complaining about
the kernel version (shown below).

configure: error: Valgrind works on kernels 2.4, 2.6
zsh: exit 1     ./configure --prefix=/home/luther/Bin/Apps/VALGRIND.3.6.1


I did some searching and found that I am supposed to edit the trunk/
configure.in file like this below.


valgrind: r11796 - trunk

I am still getting the same error. I assume it is because of the way the
kernel is named in dyne (i.e. the version number is first) and was wondering
if any gurus out there would know what I needed to do to make this configure
file work with the dyne kernel. As far as I have read there are no
compatibility issues except for the kernel name. Any help would be
appreciated. :)
