If you running configure and make as root you could actually just invoke make install instead of make; make install.<p>Also I wouldn&#x27;t make install without a local prefix, something like .&#x2F;configure --prefix=&#x2F;home&#x2F;$USER&#x2F;usr&#x2F;
or something along the lines. I mean common prefix is &#x2F;usr&#x2F;local, but still you shouldn&#x27;t install anything globally without using your package manager.
