I'm trying to install Valgrind on a Mac with Snow Leopard but am getting an error. This is what I'm typing into Terminal.

$ curl -O http://valgrind.org/downloads/valgrind-3.8.1.tar.bz2
$ md5sum valgrind-3.8.1.tar.bz2
$ tar -xjvf valgrind-3.8.1.tar.bz2
$ cd valgrind-3.8.1
$ ./configure
$ make

This is the error I get.

Making all in coregrind
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/include/mach/mach_vm.defs', needed by `m_mach/mach_vmUser.c'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

How can I correct this error?
