current version issues

[rowlandfam everestkc net]

I am trying the 2.9.4 source on a Fedora FC3 system.

I had to manually build firefox after getting firefox-gtkmozembed.pc errors
When I make process was installing it asks for a sudo user.  I dont user sudo here ( home computer, but I am familiar w/sudo)
I was prompted for the root password.  It should have asked for _my_ user id password ( which I had to quickly add to /etc/sudousers ... )

thank you
