Adding USE_WXNEEDED=Yes to the valgrind port cuts down the error from valgrind to just valgrind: mmap(0x108000, 4550656) failed in UME with error 12 (Cannot allocate memory). ... and a notification of a W^X violation from the kernel as before. Adding "-Wl,-z,wxneeded" when linking my application makes no difference. I'm still trying to run it under /home with wxneeded added to the mount flags as before. Is there anything else I could try? -- Andreas Kusalananda Kähäri Bioinformatics Developer NBIS, Uppsala University http://www.nbis.se/ [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature which had a name of signature.asc]
