It's generally considered bad practice to install Garnome as root.

OTOH, if you don't care about root's user directory security, you could  
do:

chmod go+x /root
chmod go+rx -R /root/garnome

That should work.

If you do care about security, you don't want other users to be even  
able to "cd" into /root, so you'd install Garnome in some other place,  
accessible to all (check the main_prefix variable in gar.conf.mk, or  
define it in your environment or -D when running make [that's what "?="  
is for, right?]).

Cheers,
