It looks like you are trying to install files into system directories that
you don't have write access to. While it is fine not to want to compile as
root, "make install" is a different matter. You can either:
(1) "make" as a regular user, then "make install" as root.
(2) Install into another prefix which you have write access to.
To do this, specify the alternative prefix when you run configure. i.e.
% ./configure --prefix=/home/foo/testing
... blah blah blah ...
% make install
This will install things into /home/foo/testing/bin,
/home/foo/testing/include, /home/foo/testing/lib, etc.
