SuSE currently ships valgrind (http://www.valgrind.org), a debugging and profiling tool, as part of the amd64 and x86 builds. Valgrind 3.1 is coming soon, and we will be providing full support for ppc32-linux for the first time. If you want to use Valgrind on ppc32, now would be a good time to check out, test and let us know of any problems you find. svn co svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk cd trunk ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=.. make install J
