'make install' can only install to a directory that you've
got permission to. /usr/local is the default location, and
you need to be root to install there.

It sounds like you want to install your own local copy of
cscope, in which case you need to tell configure where to
install, instead of /usr/local:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/my_stuff
make
make install

Then just make sure $HOME/my_stuff/bin is in your PATH (and
$HOME/my_stuff/man in your $MANPATH, if you want).
