install valgrind, Fatal error at startup

Question

I am installing Valgrind but encounter some problems. The info of my platform:

Linux xx-ThinkPad-X61 3.2.0-39-generic-pae #62-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 27 22:25:11 UTC          


        

Answer 1

I also faced this error, but finally resolved in below manner.

I am having 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04, and my executable is 32 bit. When I run my 32 bit executable with valgrind I got this same error. This error was not resolved even after installing libc6-dbg (using command apt-get install libc6-dbg).

Later I found like whatever libc6-dbg present in my machine was 64 bit and valgrind requires a 32 bit libc6-dbg to run my 32 bit executable. After installing 32 bit libc6-dbg (using the command apt-get install libc6-dbg:i386) it started working.
