Description IBM Bug Proxy 2011-11-03 14:20:26 UTC

Problem description : 

I  did Valgrind test on alpha release of Fedora, first down loaded source codes and then tried to build it. It gave me the unsupport kernel error:

......
checking for a 32-bit only build... no
checking for a supported OS... ok (linux-gnu)
checking for the kernel version... unsupported (3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.2.fc16.kh.ppc64)
configure: error: Valgrind works on kernels 2.4, 2.6

[root@c57f1ju0203 valgrind-3.6.1]# rpm -qa|grep kernel
kernel-3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.2.fc16.kh.ppc64
kernel-devel-3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.2.fc16.kh.ppc64
libreport-plugin-kerneloops-2.0.6-1.fc16.ppc64
kernel-bootwrapper-3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.2.fc16.kh.ppc64
abrt-addon-kerneloops-2.0.4.981-2.fc16.ppc64
kernel-headers-3.1.0-0.rc9.git0.2.fc16.kh.ppc64
[root@c57f1ju0203 valgrind-3.6.1]#



The steps I did are

1. Full install Fedora (clicked everything in customer install)
2. yumdownloader  --source valgrind
3. rpmbuild -bp SPECS/valgrind.spec
4. cd to its source dir, do ./configure then it would give the above error.

Valgrind's configure script needs to be updated to allow the newer 3.0
kernel version numbers.

Comment 1 :
----------------------
Attached patch should resolve the reported kernel version issue . Please apply
this patch and try to rebuild the package.


Comment 2 : 
---------------------
Currently I used a workaround by changing one line of code in configure as the following:

Then the build can continue.

Hello Fedora,

Did you get a chance to look into this one ?

Can you update us on this?

This is fixed in F17 with valgrind-3.7.0-2.  Closing off.
