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.
