hi Ruben,

you should become root with "su -", so that you use a root login shell,
before running any SlackBuild (it's explained at step 4 of the HOWTO
https://slackbuilds.org/howto/ ).
also, your root user shouldn't have a non-standard umask (0022) because
things, as you saw, break (not just with SlackBuilds): that's just *NOT
SUPPORTED*.
