I've never used Purify, so I can't offer a comparison, but...

I've found that dmalloc works quite well for debugging memory
allocation related problems.  See http://dmalloc.com/.

I've used purify in a SunOS environment and it worked great.  Combined with
Pure Coverage I was able to test all my code for memory leaks.  I'm not
sure if it's available for LinuxPPC, but maybe for Linux i386.
