Good.

Which was perfectly fine as well.

Which is expected if you try to install igraph to a location like 
/usr/local/lib for which you don't have write permissions. You will have to 
obtain administrator privileges temporarily in order to write anything into 
/usr/local/lib, so try "sudo make install".

By the way, we have pre-compiled packages for Ubuntu Karmic (9.10), but these 
work perfectly fine for 10.04 as well. Please follow the instructions here 
(these are for the Python bindings for igraph, but those also install the C 
core itself):
