Mike, you are trying to install into a directory that is owned
by root. You need to su to root before running "make install"
or else use a --prefix that your normal user has access
to. If you are building an RPM, that needs to be done as
root. You will still be able to run the program as a normal
user, as the perms are set properly by the install.
