"Permission denied" and "Error" mean the install failed, in this
case due to lack of file or directory write permission.  You
will need to run  make install  as superuser.  For example,

   sudo make install
or
   su -c 'make install'

or login as root, make install, and logout, via
   su -
   make install
   ^D
