I compiled it to the instructions laid out in the fore mentioned link
provided, therefore any permissions set on any folders/files are what you
would expect following the directions.

Where would I find these folders of which you speak?  Are you talking about
the folders that the libraries/binaries are compiled in or the installation
location?  If you're referring to the places where they were downloaded and
compiled, then they all have the permissions of the user they were compiled
with. If you're talking about the install location, I have no idea, I don't
know where the general locations for installed binaries or libraries are.
