Hi everybody,

I need to install Freetype in order to get my Wine working again. I have 
downloaded the freetype-2.3.9.tar.gz file which contains a makefile. I 
ran make and then make install, but got this

mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include/freetype2': 
Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/include/freetype2': 
Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/share/aclocal': Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 1

Should I run it again as root? Or do I have to make the directories with 
mkdir?

-D
