Hello,
I will echo Ben's suggestion to avoid sudo (no pun intended). Even programs that use cmake or autotools can ruin a system when run with root on occasion (google "bumblebee usr" if you want an example).
As a general rule, I try to limit all sudo commands that actually install new software to commands involving a package manager (like MacPorts for the Mac).
Furthermore, it appears like you are trying to install in your home directory, which you should own already. Try again, but without the sudo.
HTH,
Jason
