Permissions erros on Debian

I'm trying this out on Debian Jessie and getting silly permissions errors on the final step of make install:

/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/lib'
 /bin/bash ./libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c   libbrotli.la '/usr/local/lib'
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/libbrotli.so.0.0.0 /usr/local/lib/libbrotli.so.0.0.0
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/lib/libbrotli.so.0.0.0': Permission denied

Isn't that just because your user aren't allowed to write in /usr/local/* which is the default prefix?

Fix this by either running sudo make install or by changing the prefix and install it somewhere else, with ./configure --prefix=$HOME/special-dir

Okay, so its most likely just my own fault. Thanks.

Fixed permissions but now linking issues at run time.

error while loading shared libraries: libbrotli.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My ld.so.conf

include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/local/lib

Your ld.so.conf looks like that, but did you re-run ldconfig to make it "learn"?

Ah! I thought it consulted the file before each usage, but I guess that would be a really stupid thing to do, rerunning ldconfig worked. Thanks!
