You are correct that this line is the one causing you problems, but the line itself is correct. You must run 'make install' as root. The reason this is failing for you is that make is attempting to change the file's owner to root and install it as a setuid program. You can neither chown a file nor enable the setuid bit on a file you don't own (this is what it means when it says that you're not the owner).
