Did you checkout the valgrind source into this dir?  The directions you're
starting with are talking about building it in the directory you downloaded
the source too.

In a lot of cases, simply by looking at the data from the bots you can see
what the leak is likely to be to fix it without having to run locally.  When
you do need to run it under valgrind, the stdio log from the bot can help
give you the command line the bot is using which you can then start with
locally.
