some problems with 'make install'

I'm testing configure passing '--prefix=....', and after building, I do
$ su -c 'make install'

But then, some files ('configure.log', 'RDict.db') are left with
'root:root' owner and group. If you want to build/rebuild again, this
fails bad.

And you know, using 'sudo' is not always a chance, as depending on
'sudo' configuration, it does not preserve the environment.
