probelm about install

[Jiangbo Broadie Gan <jgan924 cse unsw EDU AU>]

Hi,

I am a student in University of New South Wales, Australia. For my
assignment on OO software design. I downloaded GTK+ version 1.2.8 & GLIB.  

when I follow the procedure:

% gzip -cd glib-1.2.8.tar.gz | tar xvf -  # unpack the sources
  % cd glib-1.2.8                           # change to the toplevel
directory
  % ./configure                             # run the `configure' script
  % make                                    # build GLIB
  [ Become root if necessary ]
  % make install                            # install GLIB

The below error occured: 

% make install
Making install in .

Of course I can not install GTK+ (version 1.2.8), sice the above occured.

I know the reason is that I do not have permission to access the directory
/usr/local/lib/

I only can make a directory under my account name. 

How can I use GTK+ for C++ on UNIX system (sun solaris)?
