What does it says as it fails (ie. how do you know it's failed?)?

Again, can you post the end of the output of make?  If you're not sure
what's relavent you can send me the entire output (don't post that to
the group!).  You are root/have appropriate permission when you run
"make install" don't you?

Cheers,
