in the paste you have these lines

PATH: /home/dunc/bin64
PATH: /home/dunc/bin
PATH: /home/dunc/command_line_tools/bin
PATH: /usr/local/sbin
PATH: /usr/sbin
PATH: /sbin
PATH: /usr/local/bin
PATH: /usr/bin
PATH: /bin
PATH: /usr/games
PATH: /usr/lib/java/bin
PATH: /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec
PATH: /usr/lib64/qt/bin
PATH: /usr/share/texmf/bin

these mean that you have executed just "su" and not "su -" (or "su
-l") so your root environment, not having being launched as a true
login shell, was polluted by user variables (see point 3 of the howto
https://slackbuilds.org/howto/).
you shouldn't run SBo's build scripts executing just "su".
