=============
Just a thought Olle, but did you do the ./configure and make as user or
as root? Of course, the only part to be done as root is the make
install part, but could it be possible you were root in the shell for
part of it and didn't realize it?
Again, just a thought as I am not familar enough with those errors to
offer anything else at this time.
