Valgrind doesn't work even after installing glibc-debuginfo.

I'm trying to test vmcad with Valgrind and get following error message. I follow the instructions to install glibc-debuginfo but the message still shows up. I have no idea how to solve this problem. Any reply will be appreciated.

my glibc version isn't up to date, so the debuginfo version doesn't match the glibc version.

run this command and the problem gets solved.

yum update glibc
