What did you not understand in "you really need to run 'make install'
to be sure you got things corrent"? I've said this enough already, I
won't be repeating myself further in this thread. Humans are unreliable
at getting certain things (like permissions on special files in a
package) correct. There's just too many little gotchas and getting any
one of them wrong can 'cause you a headache, either immediately, or
even worse, down the road when you've forgotten how you did someting
and/or lost your documentation on how you did it.
