Simple compile problem

SDL Development

Hi… sorry for the simple question, but I need to compile SDL for another
program to work, and I seem to
be getting an error when running the ./configure && Make && make install

/bin/sh ./build-scripts/mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/install -c -m 755 sdl-config /usr/local/bin/sdl-config
install: /usr/local/bin/sdl-config: Permission denied
make: *** [install-bin] Error 71

this happens after it generates all dependance’s… any help would be great!

To install SDL with make install in the end you need root rights.

So the commands should look like this :

./configure
make
su
make install

su asks you for the root password.
