Hi All,

I want to run valgrind on my executable and I run the command as follows.

"valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes --show-reachable=yes --log-file=/var/lib/ipa/valgrindLog /usr/lib/ipaccess/bsc/bin/access_generic -db AccessBscDbWorking -log /var/lib/ipaccess"

where,
access_generic is the executable,
-db is the option for database name
AccessBscDbWorking is the database name,
-log is the option for log
/var/lib/ipaccess is the folder where all the log files will be stored.

But I am getting error as

"Privilege drop failed: capset: Operation not permitted"

and the execution aborts.

The operating system that I am running this program is RHEL 2.6.9-42.EL.

Could somebody help me on this subject.
Your response will be appreciated.

RSR

Are you running this as a user or as root? it sounds like a permissions issue. Try executing the same command as root if you aren't doing so already.

$ su
