Just to be clear, I have been running 'make install' as a non-root user, 
since I was installing in my home directory.

Actually, I find that if you run 'make install' without make, and you 
reach an error, it just quits with an error message, it doesn't then try 
to install.

The reason this idea came up to me was that I noticed that whenever I 
ran 'make install' after 'make' it looked like make was first checking 
to see if everything was built first, before it installed. So it seems 
to me that on a practical level, if you can run 'make install' alone as 
a user, it really doesn't "make"  :) any difference.
