Ok. I tried that, but still received the same error.  So I tried
removing the path from the Makefile at the root level and 
at the testsuite level.  All I did was set the VALGRIND = and 
removed the reference to /usr/bin/valgrind.

That didn't work either.  So I also tried removing the 
reference from config.h, but that didn't work.  

So I tried something drastic, since I'm the only one on 
the box.  Just renamed the executable in /usr/bin.
That worked.  :)

xapian completed the compile and I ran 'make check' 
aferwords.  All test passed with a few skipped.  

I renamed valgrind afterwards. 

Thank you,
