I was building everything manually since the script failed. That also did not work. So trying ./install.sh again without sudo

./install.sh --prefix=$HOME/libbitcoin --build-boost --build-secp256k1 --disable-shared

Why does boost default to 1.89.0 though?

The issue is not sudo, but instead the likelihood of an existing installation of boost which does not fully satisfy our requirements but is detected and preferred via the boost/autoconf archive/cmake provided discovery mechanism. A prefix directory explicitly provides a preferred first path of discovery.
