Building Qtopia on Xubuntu Linux

Hello,

I'm attempting to build Qtopia on Xubuntu Linux. I'm supposed to use su to run a script that requires administrative privileges:
su -c "make install"

I'm prompted for a password. I give my root password, but su gives an authentication error. What's wrong?
Regards,
Sternocera

If it is one time action, just login as root and run make install from user's dir. This will also work.

for some reason su didn't work, but sudo did. Thanks
