The make install output doesn't indicate any error. Having said that if
you're just doing make install thats probably not enough.
Before we get to far just check that valgrind isn't already installed most
Linux distros ship with it I'm guessing the same is true for BSD. From a
shell type 'valgrind --version' here is an example from my system
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> valgrind --version
valgrind-3.2.3
If you do want to compile your own valgrind from source the normal steps are
below. I emphasise the fact that its probably easier to get it from your
package installation system (I don't know what freeBSD uses for this) rather
than building it from scratch.
# extract the source from your tarball
tar -xf valgrind-3.2.3.tar.bz2
# configure it for your system, there are a bunch of options you can pass to
./configure I won't confuse matters by putting in the ones I use
cd valgrind-3.2.3
./configure
# build it
make
# install it (sudo is needed if you're not using the root user account, also
I'm not sure if sudo is available on BSD systems)
sudo make install
Try the 'valgrind --version' again and if everything has gone well it should
be the version that has just been compiled.
A simple usage is just 'valgrind <app>'
e.g. valgrind ls
Depending on your system you may need to specifiy the full path to the app
you want to debug
e.g. valgrind /bin/ls
Once you're comfortable with that you can start using the different tools
e.g valgrind --tool=memcheck ls
memcheck is the default tool so 'valgrind ls' and 'valgrind --tool=memcheck
ls' will do the same thing.
Hope that helps
