Before you start installing with make && make install, always have a look first if there are rpm packages available.

And if you want to build yourself, use the src.rpm, install the necessary packages (as mentioned before) and rebuild the src.rpm with
rpmbuild --rebuild *packagename*.src.rpm
and install the appropriate rpm-packages you get by this procedure.
And even if you build your stuff with make && make install:
NEVER, NEVER, EVER use “make” as root!
Only run “make install” as root, anything else works perfectly as a normal user, so stick to it.
