I should have been more clear: when doing a "make"
it should not be touching anything like /usr/lib/ or /lib.
It is ok if 'make install' puts stuff in /usr/lib or /lib
and other places (and that part must be done as root).

It looks like the Makefile uses a prefix to a local directory.
'slibdir' is not using "/Views/redhat-cluster/cluster/build"
prefix that 'libdir' above did (see the install -d line above
the one that failed), so it does not build without being root.
That is the build problem.  Mere mortals should be able to build :)
