Error installing valgrind

Question

i try to install valgrind on my mac but when I execute ./autogen.sh get this error:

running: aclocal ./autogen.sh: line 6: aclocal: command not found error: while running 'aclocal' 

does anybody know how to solve this?

Answer 1

brew install automake  

Then you can use aclocal

Answer 2

Two third party tools (autoconf and automake) are required on your system to build and install a development version of Valgrind. These tools are no longer packaged with Apple's Xcode development environment and must be installed manually.

To install these tools, enter the following commands in the Terminal:

curl -OL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf/autoconf-latest.tar.gz tar -xzf autoconf-latest.tar.gz  cd autoconf-[x.xx] ./configure && make && sudo make install  curl -OL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/automake/automake-1.15.tar.gz tar -xzf automake-1.15.tar.gz cd automake-1.15 ./configure && make && sudo make install 

You will then be able to continue following the steps per: http://valgrind.org/downloads/repository.html

If you are on OS X, you will want to use a development version of Valgrind at present whilst that platform's support is brought back up to standard.
