[Valgrind-users] Valgrind 32 bit App on 64 bit OS

[j***@thomsonreuters.com]

I've done the standard install of Valgrind 3.7.0, but the 32 bit libraries are not installed. I need to run Valgrind on a 32 bit executable. When I try to run Valgrind on the 32 bit app, I get:
valgrind: failed to start tool 'memcheck' for platform 'x86-linux': No such file or directory

:/usr/local/lib/valgrind> ls | grep memcheck
memcheck-amd64-linux
vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so

using SUSE Linux. What can I try?

You can look at the output of configure and see why it decided not to
build the 32 bit tools.

Mostly likely you don't have the necessary development libraries
installed or something.
