----
users can (and should) run configure, make as users, not as super users.
'make install' only needs super user privileges if the intended install
is to go into /usr/local but users can have 'bin' or 'sbin' directories
in their own space to run compiled programs that are available only to
that specific user and not to all users.

Did I mention that you are going to have nightmares if you actually give
users super user privileges enough times yet?
