Why is the Analyze menu disabled in QtCreator

Question

I'm trying to analyse (valgrind) a program on linux using QtCreator. But the menu in qt creator is disabled.

I have OpenSuse 13.1. linux on 64bit. This is what i tried so far:

• I've checked the plugins dialogue and the Valgrind plugin is greyed out, but selected.
• I've checked the installation directory and the plugin is there.
• Valgrind is installed (valgrind --version -> valgrind-3.8.1)
• valgrind works (valgrind --tool=callgrind ./myprog)
• I tried the stock version of QtCreator (2.8.1) and a newer installation in ~/bin/Qt.. (3.4.0)
• I tried it with a qmake and a cmake project.
• I tried to re-enable the QtQuick plugins. This made the menu work and the Analyse icon on the left appeared, but still no valgrind support.

Can anybody help?

You might need to enable the Devices->RemoteLinux plugin as well.
