	Howdy.  Your problem isn't about compiling, its permissions.  cd
to one level higher than your majordomo directory.

	cd /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.4
	cd ..
	pwd

		From there su to root and chmod/own your majordomo directory. 

	chmod 751 majordomo-1.94.4
	chown -R majordomo.daemon majordomo-1.94.4
	chown root.daemon majordomo-1.94.4/wrapper

	Don't forget that wrapper needs to be owned by root.  I don't
think you need a majordomo group, instead majordomo uses the daemon group.
After that, the only other thing that I think you need to fix is your
$whereami variable in your majordomo.cf file.

	If anybody spots anything wrong here, please feel free to correct. 
What tipped me off to the permissions was the output of the test_config.
See the output that I left below and I think you'll see the problem too.
Let me know if this works to fix your problem though.  --Sean
