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