There is an environment variable called VALGRIND_LIB This can be set to point to teh base directory of where the tools are. Valgrind do not document the workaround very well imho see http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/dist.readme-developers.html For my cluster: $ export VALGRIND_LIB= \ /opt/opens/VALGRIND_OPENS/valgrind_opens-3.4.1_Bull.9010/lib/valgrind/ hence: /opt/opens/VALGRIND_OPENS/valgrind_opens-3.4.1_Bull.9010/bin/valgrind /bin/ls ==15928== Memcheck, a memory error detector. ==15928== Copyright (C) 2002-2008, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==15928== Using LibVEX rev 1884, a library for dynamic binary translation. ==15928== Copyright (C) 2004-2008, and GNU GPL'd, by OpenWorks LLP.
