Hello Dane!

Some one pointed out to adjust your system so you can log in as root.


Some systems do NOT allow for this so the trick is to use sudo (assuming you
have this set up one way or another) :=

sudo su
 [enter password ]

continue with defined steps as outlined in the doc.


Bye the bye as you did not mention it you need to have run :

./configure      first before
make > build.log 2>build.err

ls -la build.*

if .err is NOT zero look at it using less build.err

before going to next step.

If you have Errors sort them out and if warning and assuming only a few fix
them if you can other continue.  [Some warning are more important than others]
