It is, for most intents and purposes, not working on FreeBSD. And it never worked on anything by i386 anyway. According to the author(s), porting it from Linux to anything else would take a substantial "research-grade" effort. (I think, such effort ought to be sponsored similar to how java-porting was -- valgrind is a MAJOR feature for many.) > Does anybody know any alternatives for FreeBSD 7? > Modern gcc-4.x has memory-checking features, which -- in a manner remotely similar to Purify -- build various checks into the binary. Look through gcc's man-page for the "mudflap" keyword. That said, nothing beats Purify in my opinion, but that's not on FreeBSD either and costs thousands of dollars :-( Yours, -mi
