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: Currently I used a workaround by changing one line of code in configure as the following: 5361c5361 < 2.6.*|3.*) --- > 2.6.*) Then the build can continue. Thanks Vasant

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