[petsc-users] valgrind error comes out when upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 LTS to 10.04

[Satish Balay]

Ubuntu valgrind is at /usr/bin/valgrind.

/usr/local/bin/valgrind might be a personal install. [perhaps compiled on 8.04]

Try:

~/soft/petsc-3.1-p4/externalpackages/mpich2-1.0.8/bin/mpiexec -np 2 /usr/bin/valgrind --tool=memcheck ./ex19.exe -malloc off -da_grid_x 30 -da_grid_y 30

[and then delete valgrind installed at /usr/local]
