Neither "make dist" nor "make distcheck" need to be run as root, nor should
they. In fact, if you're on remote mounted filesystem, you may get problems
if you try.
The only targets that ever should need to be be run as root (or with sudo) are
"make install" and "make uninstall" (and even they don't if you have specified
--prefix and/or DESTDIR=) If anything else needs root permission, then it's
either a bug in the automake file, or something very wierd with your system.

As far as I understand 'make distcheck' should be used instead of 'make dist' since it goes much more far
(http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook/autobook_102.html)
When I run it as root, I can go further indeed, but 'sudo make distcheck' then fails at some point of the compilation process;
I send the end of the terminal output in a text document.
Could you please provide tar.gz archive produced by 'make distcheck'? Consistency in version number seem to be important also;
will the version number remain 2.99 for now? If yes, are every file named consistently with it?
