I try to run make install, but have error -> file cannot create directory: /usr/local/include/opencv2. Maybe need administrative privileges. I'm not allowed to run make install as root - what should I do?

could you live with installing to your home dir ?

you can set the install path with cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/where/you/want/it

to expand berak his remark, do make sure then that your compiler and linker know where OpenCV can be found, because it will not be in the standard location.
