You should not change file permissions for crucial directories on your
system. sudo should work out ideally.

Please do a "make clean", you might have to use sudo here if you've
used it previously to compile. Then,
./configure
make -j4
sudo make install

from the root directory of the project.

Let us know if you still face any issues.
