I thought I had removed everything to do this as a fresh install. Help?

I posted up some build details a while back, these might (or might not) help you.

How to build sigmoid and dt

Summary - if like me you’ve previously thought building software was too tricky, well it’s not, have a go! devs can help by posting up the details to build their changes. Then more people can test them! below shows how to build sigmoid in particular, and dt “master” generally, under Ubuntu 20.04. I expect this will work under a number of linux flavours. I am no expert in this so bear that in mind. There are various ways to build, some slicker than what I will describe. Also a wiki is availab…

You can build R&Dt by following the Master process, but cloning the location you’re already using rather than the mainstream git location. You can have various independent builds of dt/R&Dt if you wish.
Are you sure you’ve built R&Dt? Was that your intention? I think by using the 3.8.1 tag you’ve built mainstream dt of that version. Or am I misunderstanding something? Have another look at the README in Aurelien’s github.
