You can install it on other places than /usr/share or /usr/local
(forgot which one is the default) with

./configure --prefix=/some/local/path

It's sufficient that you can create files _somewhere_.  You also
need to make sure that the correct automake is called (by putting
/some/local/path/bin before /usr/bin in $PATH).
