Most likely "make install" did not succeed unless you ran it as root. Regular users typically don't have write permissions in /usr/local which is the default install point fro valgrind. As John suggested use --prefix=........ when configuring. e.g. ./configure --prefix=/tmp/whatever make && make install /tmp/whatever/bin/valgrind ls -l Florian >> There's no file in the installation folder called simply "valgrind".
