I''m assuming you''re getting a slew of messages.  When things
are
compiling correctly they''re just information or warnings that can
often times be ignored.  Somewhere in the messages should be an
indication of the problem.

Not producing a /usr/local directory when it''s invoked in the
configure statement is a serious problem.  It may indicate you don''t
have write permissions in /usr.

Moving things manually is a source of unaccountable problems later.
Better to figure what''s wrong with the permissions before trying to
fix anything manually.  There could be weird problems later.
