You need to ..
# chmod 4111
to set the setuid bit.

Now try again ..

FAQ and Troubleshooting Tips

Q) Sudo compiles but when I run it I get "Sorry, sudo must be setuid root."
and sudo quits.
A) Sudo must be setuid root to do its work. You need to do something like
`chmod 4111 /usr/local/bin/sudo'. Also, the filesystem sudo resides
on must *not* be mounted with the nosuid mount option or sudo will
not be able to work. Another possibility is you may have '.' in
your $PATH before the directory containing sudo. If you are going
to have '.' in your path you should make sure it is at the end.
