Those instructions are out of date, use "make install". That installs 
the files, but you will still need some changes to make the engine work:

1. Create the ovirt user (the engine runs by default with this service, 
unless you change the /etc/syscofig/ovirt-engine file and add the 
ENGINE_USER and ENGINE_GROUP parameters):

   useradd ovirt

2. Create (mkdir -p ...) and change the ownership of the directories 
that the engine needs to own to ovirt:ovirt (chown ovirt:ovirt ...):

   /etc/ovirt-engine
   /var/log/ovirt-engine
   /var/lock/ovirt-engine
   /var/lib/ovirt-engine/content
   /var/lib/ovirt-engine/deployments
   /var/tmp/ovirt-engine
   /var/cache/ovirt-engine

3. Enable the HTTP connector in the engine (the default is to enable 
only AJP, and that doesn't work without Apache as frontend) adding the 
following to the /etc/sysconfig/ovirt-engine file:

   ENGINE_PROXY_ENABLED=false
   ENGINE_HTTP_ENABLED=true
   ENGINE_HTTP_PORT=8700
   ENGINE_HTTPS_ENABLED=false
   ENGINE_AJP_ENABLED=false

4. Configure database connection details (the default in development 
environments is to use the postgres user and the trust mode) adding this 
to /etc/sysconfig/ovirt-engine:

   ENGINE_DB_USER=postgres
   ENGINE_DB_PASSWORD=

5. Make sure that you have the PostgreSQL JDBC driver installed (rpm -q 
postgresql-jdbc) and install it if needed (yum install postgresql-jdbc).

6. Now you can start the engine running the engine-service script:

   engine-service start

Look at the system log (the file /var/log/messages) and the engine logs 
(the files /var/log/ovirt-engine/server.log and /var/log/ovirt-engine) 
for errors.

7. Connect to http://localhost:8700 and you should be able to login with 
user admin and letmein! as password.

Note that I am assuming that you already created the database, and that 
you want to use this installation for development. If you are looking 
for an production installation I suggest using the RPMs.

Also I tested this with the latest source from the repository, it will 
not work with older versions.
