That's what I thought.
I am going to back out and perform the entire install as root.
Thanks

Is the account under which you ran the "make install" denied permission
to write to the directory "/usr/local/lib"? If so, that's what you
should expect to happen; either configure it to install in a directory
in which you can write or, if you can get permission to do so (e.g., if
you can run "sudo" on the machine), either run the "make install" as
root (so it can install in "/usr/local/lib", etc.) or change the
permissions on the directories in which "make install" will install
things to let you install in them.
