Hmmm.. What is the "error" here?? It seems normal!
In case a file has already been compiled, make will not recompile it. Also..
It need not compile certain files. That I suppose is the meaning of "nothing
to be done for" etc..
A small tip: do not make files as root.. The general way is to make as a
normal user and use the root user only to make install
You can create a local bin folder like /home/<username>/bin and then do a
./configure --prefix=/home/<username>/bin. Here both make and make install
can be done as a normal user.
Of course you need the following line in your .bashrc
PATH=${PATH}:/home/<username>/bin
in order to get the run it directly
