If you're using the toplevel makefile as is, installing in
$HOME/geda/... then don't make install as root. For "root install", I
presume you're looking to change the toplevel Makefile so gEDA installs
in the /usr/local prefix.

In that case edit line 30 of the toplevel Makefile. Since I'd suggest
not building as root, you will probably have to build the directories
manually. "make libgeda", then "sudo make libgeda_install".

(or "make", "sudo make install" in the actual sub-directory).

You will need libgeda installed and in the right place before you
continue to build the rest of the suite, "make all" is available, but
you need to get libgeda in place first.

Hmm, not sure there. Try running make a second time, as it looks like
tex might have semi-succeeded. (Output was written to pcb.dvi).

If that fails, try with --disable-doc
