Here is the command line query and its outcome:
     nor...@norman-macpro:~$ which valgrind
     /usr/bin/valgrind

Hmmm... I'm sure I used the --prefix=/home/norman when building valgrind from the v3.5.0 source I had downloaded. Why the valgrind executable ended up in this particular directory instead of where I pointed to? Does have a consequence? BTW, the date on the executable (c.f. below) is 2008, which is before the release of valgrind-3.5.0!

nor...@norman-macpro:~$ ls -al /usr/bin/valgrind*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   811 2008-06-19 04:14 /usr/bin/valgrind
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 39590 2008-06-19 04:14 /usr/bin/valgrind.bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22773 2008-06-19 04:14 /usr/bin/valgrind-listener

I have attempted to install valgrind-3.5.0 by downloading the tar ball
and closely following the read-me instructions to build the package.
However, when I am all finished and run "valgrind --version", I am
informed that the version I have installed is "-3.3.1-Debian". Can
anyone tell me what is going on?

I am running  Ubuntu 8.10 within Parallels on a Mac OS-X 10.5 system.

Thanks ...
