install valgrind, Fatal error at startup
valgrind
Solution
I also faced this error, but finally resolved in below manner.
I am having 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04, and my executable is 32 bit. When I run my 32 bit executable with valgrind I got this same error. This error was not resolved even after installing `libc6-dbg` (using command `apt-get install libc6-dbg`).
Later I found like whatever `libc6-dbg` present in my machine was 64 bit and valgrind requires a 32 bit `libc6-dbg` to run my 32 bit executable. After installing 32 bit `libc6-dbg` (using the command `apt-get install libc6-dbg:i386`) it started working.
Problem
I am installing Valgrind but encounter some problems. The info of my platform: ``` Linux xx-ThinkPad-X61 3.2.0-39-generic-pae #62-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 27 22:25:11 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ``` I follows the installation instruction of the README file in the valgrind folder. ./configure ->make -> sudo make install. I can't understand the following reminder in the README file, I just overlooked it. ``` Important! Do not move the valgrind installation into a place different from that specified by --prefix at build time. This will cause things to break in subtle ways, mostly when Valgrind handles fork/exec calls. ``` after typing "valgrind ls -l", error appears: ``` xx@xx-ThinkPad-X61:~/Downloads/valgrind-3.8.1$ valgrind ls -l ==7674== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==7674== Copyright (C) 2002-2012, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==7674== Using Valgrind-3.8.1 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==7674== Command: ls -l ==7674== valgrind: Fatal error at startup: a function redirection valgrind: which is mandatory for this platform-tool combination valgrind: cannot be set up.

Sorry. ``` Could someone give some suggestions? thanks!
