After i do a su -c 'make install' of a program like say "gcolor" after install the folders arr locked in /usr/local/share/gcolor. Can't run the program gcolor . looks like a permission thing going on. because i have to manaully reset permissions on the folder. to be able to use the program.
Any ideals how i can fix this without doin it manually?

Do you get the same results when you do the `make install` as root? (As opposed to using `su -c ...`)

Does this only happen when compiling gcolor, or does it happen with other applications you've compiled also?
