Personally, I never use root to install - instead, I configure with, say, --prefix=/tmp/pd-test/ (after making the directory /tmp/pd-test) and then make and make install as a plain user. (If you want that version to stay around put it in your home directory somewhere, e.g., /home/msp/pdinstall or something like that).
Installing as root will do fine until you compile some other version of Pd and can't figure out how to keep them apart.
like
/usr/bin/pd /usr/local/bin/pd /home/msp/pdinstall/bin/pd
?
