You can check that by running the following in a command line: > sudo umask
In case it's of any help, I often run in to that problem because as a *user* I have a restrictive umask (077) and when I do `sudo make install` then my *user* umask gets applied. I have to keep remembering to relax the umask, to 022, prior to running `sudo make install`. There's probably a neat trick to fix this (but before knowing that a neat trick will fix it, one has to know where the problem is, which is why I'm replying).
