Ed,
It sounds like you may some permissions problems.
The ./configure
and make
can both be run as yourself and require no special permissions.
You must be root or have root priveleges to do the "make install". That is because the target directors are in the
/usr/local/bin and other such directories that are owned by root.
So you must do a
su
(give the password)
then the make install
and then "exit" to return back to your own login
Does this help any?
