You don't need to be root.
If you're updating a development snapshot from SVN you may have missed
to run ./autogen.sh which is what _creates_ the ./configure script
(thus you would have an older version).

Also check the output of ./configure as it should tell you something
about the creation of postgis_config.h (and check you have that file
afterwards)
