It might be obvious, but by default, this should try to
install in /usr or /usr/local so you must be root before
make install.

Alternatively, you can ask configure to prepare the
makefile so as to install in a place where you can write:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/install && make && make install

Hope that helps...
