That's possible.  You might have a file now owned by root that make
can't update.  Personally, I created the hobbit userid, went through
the entire installation process as root, then set up a startup script
that su's to hobbit to start the server.

Being the newb that I am, I think I just realized what I might have done
wrong.  I created a hobbit account and ran the installation configure and
make as hobbit, make install under su.  But I have been logging in as root
on the system so that I could edit the config files and scripts.  Maybe that
is why the make failed?  I was working from the same tree.
