I can't speak for the Ubuntu distros or others as I'm not familiar with 
their packaging systems -- cvs source for xorp is another matter...

You could try doing a "find /usr/local -type f -name xorp_bgp" command 
to try to establish if the packaging system(s) installed XORP in an 
unexpected location.

Unless you have something unusual in your shell environment, the "make 
install" target of the XORP top level GNU makefile should "just work".

Please send us the output of the "env" command from the shell you're 
attempting to install XORP from.

Not doing the "make check" for a production install of a released 
version is fine.
