Since I've done so much installing and reinstalling the last few days I decided it would be best to go and do a make uninstall (yeah, I figured that was the best way to try uninstalling something lol) on speex and Iaxclient and start from scratch with 2.1 this time. I was going to attempt building as root if it still gave me permission errors but I probably shouldn't.

You probably did a 'make install' as root. If the tree had not been
built previously as a non-root user, this will build and then install,
both as root (thus giving the built files root permissions).

The only way the build system would give px_unix_oss.o (or any other
object file) permissions such that you could not remove it is if make
was run as some other user.

To clean up the source trees, you can run either 'make clean' or 'make
distclean'. The 'clean' and 'distclean' targets are highly
conventional and are part of all automake-oriented builds. The
'distclean' target is as clean as you can get -- you'll have to
reconfigure if you use it. You will almost certainly have to run as
root, otherwise the 'make clean' will fail the same way as your
vanilla 'make' command.
