I had to get the pcre3 and pcre3-dev libraries (that stands for perl 
compatible regular expressions) from the Debian repositories with 
apt-get to compile it. 

As for being root, you do not need to be root to compile it, as long as 
you have it in a directory where you have write permissions.  In my case 
I unpacked it under /usr/local/src, so of course I had to be root to 
compile it there. 

For most packages, there is a "make install" step that moves some files 
to places where root privileges are required, so normally you would 
become root in order to do "make install". But with this package, there 
is no "make install". You will have to copy the executable that results 
from a successful compile to a directory on your path, such as 
/usr/local/bin, and for that you will need to be root.

There is a binary package that would save you the compile, but I am not 
sure whether the manual and sample config file comes with it since I 
have not used it. The following two links are to the manual in html 
format, and to the binary precompiled verion, called "ee" (that's 
double-e)
