O.K. here is the critical part of the output

I am using UMFPACKv4.4 (SuiteSparse UMFPACK 5.02 doesn't 
work for me)

>>> scipy.show_config()
amd_info:
     libraries = ['amd']
     library_dirs = 
['/home/nwagner/src/UMFPACKv4.4/AMD/Lib']
     define_macros = [('SCIPY_AMD_H', None)]
     swig_opts = 
['-I/home/nwagner/src/UMFPACKv4.4/AMD/Include']
     include_dirs = 
['/home/nwagner/src/UMFPACKv4.4/AMD/Include']

umfpack_info:
     libraries = ['umfpack', 'amd']
     library_dirs = 
['/home/nwagner/src/UMFPACKv4.4/UMFPACK/Lib',

     define_macros = [('SCIPY_UMFPACK_H', None),

     swig_opts =

     include_dirs =

Should I use valgrind to get further information ?
If yes how do I use valgrind in that case ?
