A Package to detect memory leaks in C apps?

[veraction]

Wrote a few C programs & I want to test for memory leaks. Is there some easy to use program I can get via apt-get for this? :)

used purify before.. don't have access to it now though

valgrind. It's in synaptic.

Check out valgrind. I'm sure it must be in the repos.
