Dehui,

Of course I don't know how you have setup your operating systems environment 
variables and other details.  Yet, I would like point out (actually repeat) 
that one shouldn't compile, e.g. use the make command, as a super-user.

Inside a directory whose permissions grant read and write access to a user, 
the use of sudo is not/should not be required.  Furthermore, I am not sure if 
there are/will be other implications -- probably not.  But still, it is not a 
good practice.

The reason that  sudo  is required for the installation step, is of course 
that the process itself copies files in "privileged" directories.  Without  
sudo  the installation would fail.

However, in case you know why you use  sudo  while compiling,  I kindly ask 
you to share some details.  I would like to know -- since I too was told, in 
the past, that doing "sudo make"  is not required (maybe not correct).

All the best, Nikos
