Why I can not install glib?

["HU Li" <sperfox ust hk>]

Dear all,

When I try to install glib-2.8.0 on a UNIX workstation, all the
installation steps run properly except the last one: make install.

The error message is as follows:

make  install-recursive
Making install in .
/bin/bash ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin
 ./install-sh -c glib-gettextize /usr/local/bin/glib-gettextize
cp: cannot create /usr/local/bin/_inst.17461_: Read-only file system ***
Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-binSCRIPTS'

Current working directory /home/vlsi7/staff/sperfox/FBAR/glib-2.8.0 ***

Can some one tell me what the wrong is? Thank you.
