Today I was trying to compile,test and install the PPL library. I ran the configure-script with the options --enable-check=thorough --enable-valgrind-tests After successfully configuring and compiling the library, I ran 'make check'. This gave the same valgrind-error in many tests (not sure if it happens in all tests):

==3786== '--num-callers' argument must be between 1 and 50 valgrind: Bad option '--num-callers=100'; aborting. valgrind: Use --help for more information.

After replacing the --num-callers option in all Makefiles with --num-callers=12 (which is the valgrind default) everything seems to work fine.

Dear Jakob,

thanks for the report: we have reduced that parameter down to 40.

Although I still haven't ran the full test suite since it's REALLY big. (a little warning somewhere in the README or INSTALL file may be nice)

We have still not found the right place and words (we do not want to discourage the usage of `make check': it is crucial to ensure the compiled version of the library is OK), but will do at some stage. Thanks again,

Roberto
