I do not believe you need to use sudo for the make, just the install part of it.

As far as the problem:Whatever package or library gives you libimobiledevice is what you need.

Perhaps there is a BUILD or README file included with this code so that you understand the pre-requisites.

For that matter, is there a configure script? And have you run it?

Install libimobiledevice :
$ bzr branch lp:~timmie/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice-github
( Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora packages are missing the header preboard.h ).

libimobiledevice depends on `libusbmuxd, libplist++´.

yeah , no need for sudo when running make
no need for root to run sudo to run make
normally you would compile as a normal user, and only run "make install" as root

anyway
what distro are you on?
there might be a package available for your distro
is there a specific reason for you to compile this?

As you were asked in your other thread, you need to read the "Question Guidelines", and provide details. As others have said, without knowing where you got this software, or what version/distro of Linux you're using, we can't tell you much.
