akh or others,
I'm asking because I don't know and I'm curious: What kind of problems arise when building packages as root instead of using sudo and is this one of them? Or is it only when installing fink that it is not recommended to build as root?
thanks, Robert

It may not matter in this case: it depends on whether fink is configured to use the root user when it builds or to use sudo--one can be logged in as root but build via sudo, I guess. I don't think it affects fink builds in any case: the recommendation not to use a root user account is from more general grounds.
