I'm trying to install valgrind and it looks as though ./configure is failing with configure: error: Valgrind works on kernels 2.4, 2.6.
Does this mean that I have to install a new kernel? The Linux VM I am using is required for a college course, so I am reluctant to fundamentally modify it.
Is there another way around this?
Here is the rest of the output:
