You need to install packages in directories where you have write
permission.  Assuming your home directory is /home/german/, the
following sequence should work:

(cd slib; ./configure --prefix=/home/german/; make install)
(cd jacal; ./configure --prefix=/home/german/; make install)

If /home/german/bin is in your PATH variable, then you can run jacal
with the command "jacal".

Alternatively, have the person who created /usr/local/lib/slib/ run
'make catalogs' from that directory.
