Looks like whatever user you are running the unstaller as doesn't have
permission to write to /usr/local/lib

Are you running "make install" as root?

If not you need "su" (or ./configure --prefix=/somewhere/else)

If so you should check the permissions on /usr/local/lib and chmod
them to something so that root gains write permission.
