valgrind doesn't accept newest version of glibc

Question

Valgrind doesn\'t like glibc 2.15:

checking the GLIBC_VERSION version... unsupported version 2.15
configure: error: Valgrind requires glibc version 2.2 - 2.14
         


        

Answer 1

How can I deal with this?

One of two ways:

1. Use your distribution and download the package they've already built for you, or
2. Figure out the problem (which is that configure has not been regenerated after 2.15 was added to configure.in) and fix it.

do I have to downgrade glibc?

That will likely render your system un-bootable (because most other binaries depend on 2.15).
