Well, it should have worked with the sudo :|
Is it an installation for all users or just for you ? If it is the
latter, I suggest you to create a local folder in your home directory
where you will put everything (every decent installation tool has the
--prefix options which will correctly populate the local folder, you
just have to set the environment variables correctly, but you already
modified LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it won't much more trouble). This way, you
don't need root permission and you won't mess up with the system
installation. This is what I did on every computer even where I had
sudo capabilities. Less trouble in the long run ;)
