Cool. As long as you can grab the basic devel packages, you'll be fine.

The asterisk led to the instrucions ;)

As long as you don't run anything in there as root, you can do no harm. The
only thing you will run as root is the 'make install'. If by some quirk that
were to cause a problem or just not work, you can then just do 'make
uninstall' and any files installed will be...uninstalled.

So, it's like this:

1. ./autogen.sh

2. ./configure --prefix=/usr

3. make

4. as root, make install

./autogen.sh first.
