So when sending error codes it would be better to set LC_ALL=C (or equivalent) before producing and sending error message.

Without curl http:// and https:// transports won't work. So you perhaps want to install curl instead.

 Alternatively you can use autoconf generated ./configure script to
 set up install paths (via config.mak.autogen), so you can write instead

        $ make configure ;# as yourself, if configure does not exist
        $ ./configure --prefix=/usr ;# as yourself
        $ make all doc ;# as yourself
        # make install install-doc ;# as root
