Error during make install: Makefile:105: recipe for target 'install' failed

I'm trying to install gtsam on Ubuntu 16.04 make check : Worked fine 100% make install gives me the following error in the end:

[100%] Built target ConcurrentFilteringAndSmoothingExample Install the project... -- Install configuration: "Release" -- Installing: /usr/local/lib/cmake/GTSAM/gtsam_extra.cmake CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:44 (file): file INSTALL cannot copy file "/home/shruti/gtsam/build/gtsam_extra.cmake" to "/usr/local/lib/cmake/GTSAM/gtsam_extra.cmake".

Makefile:105: recipe for target 'install' failed make: *** [install] Error 1

I tries uninstalling and reinstalling a couple of times, but still I get the same error. Not sure how to proceed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Sounds like a permission problem. Did you try "sudo make install" ?
