Notes on my quick attempt this morning:

To get the ./Configure to run properly I needed a symbolic link to tcsh:
ln -s /bin/tcsh /bin/csh

Also chose module linux when asked.

for owner, used SYSTEM instead of default root

install script did not move the executable into the proper directory:

./install -o SYSTEM -m 4711 -g SYSTEM top /usr/local/bin
chown: changing ownership of `/usr/local/bin/top': No such file or directory
chgrp: changing group of `/usr/local/bin/top': No such file or directory
chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/local/bin/top': No such file or directory
make: *** [install-top] Error 1

I was able to install it manually and it appears to work.
