Let me elaborate: In order to compile Sage, you don't need root privileges. In fact, it is strongly recommended *not* to build Sage as root. During "make" (or "make all"), Sage is ran once. This will create a few new files. After this, every user on the system can run Sage from the directory it was compiled in (if not, this is considered a bug). If you move your Sage tree after building, you have to run sage-location again as the user who owns the Sage files. As a final step, you can change the owner to root if you want.
