Comment (by isaacdupree):
Lots of documentation says to "sudo make install" these days. Even on
those distros that *allow* you to su to root by default, sudo is generally
installed and functional too... I was using sudo on Gentoo four years
ago!... I think sudo is probably only a bad suggestion for people who
already regularly use su, prefer it, and know why they want to do a "sudo"
suggestion with su.
There may be exceptions. We're just Haskell... How about we don't care
until we hear about somewhere someone actually running into the problem?
