valgrind and mpi

According to Valgrind documentation it is possible to use valgrind to debug MPI programs. That requires library wrappers "libmpiwrap-<platform.so>". None of these libraries are installed by the valgrind package. It seems like the package is compiled without MPI support.

Is it possible to install a MPI-enabled version of valgrind from the Arch repository?

Re: valgrind and mpi

Arch usually only provides a single version of each package in the official repos. For other versions (other releases or other compilation options), always check the AUR first. If you don't find what you're looking for, you will need to download the PKGBUILD and modify it to build the version you want yourself.

You can retrieve the valgrind PKGBUILD here or via a tool such as pbget.

Consult the Arch Build System wiki page and related pages for details.
