After I compiled my own version of ecl, I sudo make install'ed it to
/usr/local/...

I now tried to use the ecl-quicklisp as a non-root user but get this:

-------------------------------- snip --------------------------------
> (require :ecl-quicklisp)

;;; Loading "/usr/local/lib/ecl-12.7.1/ecl-quicklisp.asd"
;;; Loading "/usr/local/lib/ecl-12.7.1/ecl-quicklisp.fas"
;;; Loading "/usr/local/lib/ecl-12.7.1/ecl-curl.asd"
;;; Loading "/usr/local/lib/ecl-12.7.1/ecl-curl.fas"

;;; Unable to load / install quicklisp. Error message follows:
Could not create directory "/usr/local/lib/ecl-12.7.1/quicklisp"
C library explanation: Permission denied.
NIL
-------------------------------- snip --------------------------------

Have I done something wrong with my installation?
