I Got ngircd to work,  but I think I may have miss compiled or mis-installed it.  I get this error

Can't read configuration "/usr/local/etc/ngircd.conf": Permission denied

when attemping to /rehash the server.  I was downloaded the 21.1 version but was only able to "make install"  with "sudo make install"   So now when I run it,  I have to run the command 

/ngircd21.1/$ sudo ngircd

Im really sorry if this is a basic question, Im still learning linux permissions...


FYI..the other error i get is

Error writing PID file (/var/run/ngircd/ngircd.pid): Permission denied
