You would only need sudo for the make install command - you can do
the rest as a normal user. (At least for almost all packages...) I
have not tried it, but I suspect that if you created a group called
install, and put a rule something like this in /etc/sudoers:
%install localhost=make install
You could also use something like thins if you do not want it to be
limited to users at the console:
%install ALL=make install
If you do not want the user asked for his password when running the
command, you can add "NOPASSWD: ALL" at the end.
