While trying to run valgrind from the current CVS HEAD, I found it wouldn't run on my system: $ /opt/valgrind/bin/valgrind /bin/ls Executable is mapped outside of range 0x80d3000-0xbffff000, was 0x8048000-0x8131920 failed to load /opt/valgrind/lib/valgrind/stage2: Cannot allocate memory (I have add the "was %p-%p" to show where the mmap actually occured.) System (debian sid): Linux 2.6.0 (hand compiled) libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10 (debian package) I you need any more information, e.g strace, I'll be happy to help.
Subject: Re: New: Unable to run CVS HEAD "Executable is mapped outside of range" I've tested this and I think it's related to a prelinked stage2 binary. When I prelink (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/prelink-howto.xml) the system, particulary /usr/lib/valgrind/stage2 (from valgrind-snapshot debian package), valgrind stops working. If I undo the prelinking (prelink -u) on this file, valgrind will work again. There may be some hardcoded address within the code of stage2 because what prelink does is (roughly) to relocate symbols of an ELF file and hence, it does change the binary addresses somehow. I don't know if this can be fixed or in the future, prelink and valgrind cannot coexist together. Thanks.

Is this still a problem? Is it caused by prelink, or is there something else wrong?
Yes, this is still a problem, it fails with a completely clean build of valgrind, and although I did have the prelink program installed on my machine, I don't think I have run it in a very long time. (Sorry for taking so long to get back, xmas hols and all that)
Is there anything I can provide, in terms of extra information, that would help track down what the problem is here? I would really like to be able to run the CVS version (I get signal problems with 2.1.0, which are fixed in CVS).
Ok, so I am officially confused, I did a fresh checkout of valgrind from CVS, and now it is working! The previous tree was completely up to date, so I really don't know what is going on.
