Title:
  I failed to install gmp 5.02

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have had some problems with gmp (Gnu bignum C-library) so i tried to install a new version. When i followed the install-instructions until the command "make install". It gave the error-message: couldn't create directory "/usr/local/share/info" : access denied. 
  Whats wrong? Is it
  1: Gmp-install shouldn't mess with "/usr/local/share/"-directory? or
  2: Gmp-install should be allowed to make new directories there?
  If the answer is 2, then how will it be fixed?
  2a: Official upgrade or
  2b: I'll have to chmod some directories to allow scripts to make new subdirectories .
  if 2b, then how do i do it?
