Hello Jorge,
I'm glad you were able to get further in the process. This latest error you
report is pretty straight-forward; you do not have permission to write to the
directory /usr/local/lib. If you have superuser access on this system, you
should invoke 'make install' as follows:
$ sudo make install
If you do not have superuser access, you will need to specify an alternative
install location when running configure, e.g.
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
I hope this helps,
