You configure and build PostgreSQL as a normal user, not "root".
Only fir the final step (make install) you will need "root" permissions,
if you install the software in /usr or /opt or somewhere else where
only root can write.
You will need another user (traditionally called "postgres") to own
the database files and processes, but that comes after building and
installation.
