The only thing you need to be root for is to rebuild the boot sector and install the modules if applicable. It also assures that the headers you're compiling against are the same across all your apps, which in your case turned out to be a problem for you. I compile all my kernels this way and it makes a lot more sense than dumping everything to /usr/local/src. -Brian
