These warnings are known and are warnings; they should not have stopped the
compilation.

This is all of the output? It looks like you just redirected stdout or stderr,
and the other is missing. What happens when you do the following:

cd
/home/mharris/rpmbuild/BUILD/SN452-source/build-redhat/snavigator/misc/libutils
make install

Yes, it is.

You do not have your permission correct. Did you use --prefix when you
configured? Are you building as root?
