First of all, we need to know which distro you're running.

You don't have permission to create a directory in the "/usr/local/include" tree.

Try running "sudo make install".

If you are a member of a group in the "/etc/sudoers" list, you should be able to use your user password.

Is there any other way that I can install valgrind on the server.

When you run "configure", you could set the installation prefix to a directory in your user tree. For example "./configure --prefix=/home/agunge/projects".
