Description

When I pull the latest build from git, everything proceeds according to the instructions at https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/installing-guacamole.html until I get to the 'make install' phase. If I run 'make install' without sudo, I get the following errors:

Making install in src/libguac

Running 'make install' with sudo allows the process to complete successfully.
