No. I usually do my "make install"s as root, but that's not necessary. You can "make install" to your home directory if you wish. There's a configure flag named "--prefix" for that.
Did not know that, thanks.

And yes, I know that this is a sensitive topic to discuss ...

Yes, and unfortunately sensitive topics usually produce unproductive discussions ;-).
Despite this, anybody interested in the "make install" thing may provide a patch for supporting this. I can put this on my list of open points as well, or we may ask Kai Backmann (are you listening?) to put this on his build environment revision project.

- this could very well be one of the most prominent reasons for Windows
success in both worlds, the open source world and the commercial world.
And I want Linux to be successful in both (or more) worlds as well.

Not sure about what you say, but in any case doing both ways does not hurt... ;-).
Agreed.

Thanks for your explanations and comments, I am enjoying the discussions
... :-)

"me too" ;-)

Thanks for your openess.
