Cool, but I'm still wondering why you need to be root (other than to install) 
when doing a make. This shouldn't be. I'm wondering if, maybe, somethinga about 
the command search path is different. Could you try making your user command 
search path be the same as your root commmand search path and doing the make?

Get your root command search path with: sudo echo $PATH
Set your user command search path with: export PATH=
Verify your user command search path with: echo $PATH
So do something like this: export PATH=`sudo echo $PATH`
