no configure/compiling guru here on my side, googling 

e.g. configure + "Cannot fork"

may show some issues with too many processes in your computer. 

as your issue has changed from "Gaining write privileges to usr/local and
subdirectories" to some other, maybe changing the subject line of the thread
to get more devs involved.
