Does anyone know if there are specific limitations to the
types of binaries that can be used with valgrind? I am attempting
to find a memory leak in a commercial scientific package we use,
InsightII by Accelrys. After installing the valgrind 2.1.1-1.1.fc2.dag
rpms, I tried running...
valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes /usr/accelrys/I2000.3L/Linux_2_Intel_32/biosym_exe/insightII
The executable at /usr/accelrys/I2000.3L/Linux_2_Intel_32/biosym_exe/insightII
can be used to run the program normally outside of valgrind. However when I
attempt to run it within valgrind I get the error...

I was under the impression that I didn't need to have debug versions of
the binaries and libraries for valgrind to work. Or isn't that really
the case?
