title: when I do a 'make install' it does not create Directory
body: <p>This is my first attempt with autoconf, I changed and added some different code to a utility then I took the make.am and other files I needed, I modified them to work with what I wrote, into the same program. as it worked with that one, all I needed to change was the name and version and main.c and header file names. When I do, configure, then, make, it all goes well. it is when I get to the "make install" then I get this error, and I am not sure why. </p>
  
  <pre><code>Making install in src

  make[2]: Entering directory `/home/userx/Dropbox/mhsetroot-MAKE/src'

  <p>it does not let it make a directory. So, I tired it.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>mkdir /usr/local/bin/mhsetroot
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the same error, therefore it is <strong>just</strong> a permissions problem, right <strong>?</strong> 
  If that is all that it is, then it should work on someone else's computer, just not mine? Also, then what permissions do I need to have set on <strong>my</strong> "local/bin" so that the "make install" will work without having to be in "sudo" mode first?</p>
