Do as the error suggests; Don't run your eggdrop while logged on as root...

Compile and run eggdrop from your user account.
When is states "Eggdrop will not run as root!", that is literal.

| Just type adduser or useradd from the prompt. And it will make a sepreate non-root account. When it ask for groups choose "wheel" (i do that for su(superuser)). Then run eggdrop from the non-root account. |

Explain?
Would you please read your *nix documentation re adding a user account. Also reference the security documentation paying special attention as to why you do not log onto your box as root and "play".
