So, if I install the x86_64 version package (.rpm, .deb etc., on my favourite 
Linux distro), it should work out of the box ? Or, do I need to build the 
package on the target platform, from source ?

Also, is the same true for the tool, Helgrind ? Does the Helgrind tool, part of 
the Valgrind x86_64 package, work for both 32bit & 64bit applications ? Asking 
because --
when we tried to run Helgrind on RHEL 5.3 (Valgrind - 3.2.1-6.e15 ), it says 
Helgrind not supported and says use Valgrind - 2.4 for Helgrind support !! 

Thanks for the response.
