[erlang-questions] unable to build valgrind-enabled erlang runtime

[Sverker Eriksson]

You have to disable hipe:

./configure --disable-hipe


After successful build, set
export VALGRIND_LOG_DIR=/my/valgrind/log/dir
export 
VALGRIND_MISC_FLAGS="--suppressions=$ERL_TOP/erts/emulator/valgrind/suppress.standard 
--show-possibly-lost=no"

and run with
$ERL_TOP/bin/cerl -valgrind

/Sverker
