For as far as I can recall, yes, but I'm unsure. The build dir was
present, in any case.

No, I always do only 'make install' as root, all other things as normal
user.

Not a smooth path... Did  "git clean -dfx", but then 

    autoreconf -fi
    Can't exec "aclocal": Bestand of map bestaat niet at
    /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 326.
    autoreconf: failed to run aclocal: Bestand of map bestaat
    niet                            (means File or directory doesn't exist)


Figured out that aclocal is in the automake package, so installed that.
Now I get

    autoreconf -fi
    configure.ac:30: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
          If this token and others are legitimate, please use
    m4_pattern_allow.
          See the Autoconf documentation.
    autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

and I'm afraid I get lost here - studying the man pages (atuoconf,
autom4te) didn't  give me a hint.

So then it's fine, just wouldn't want to waste your time on me.

Suse 11.1 x86_64 (as stated in the original post ;-) )
