I would personally avoid running "make install" as root for any SW on a 
system that has an OS-supplied package manager. If you do so, then want 
to remove the installed files, or install an OS package that contains 
those files, e.g. if Ubuntu updates their ZFS, or you find a PPA that 
supplies the version you need, you will be unhappy.
