I have rebuilt it manually and it is fine. I guess the problem was in 
'sudo'. I could not figure out how to use the script with it. First, I 
ran sudo ./installer.sh LIBS, but apparently it did not install the 
libs. Then I try to doctor the script itself putting sudo before make 
install, but it did not work either.

It is fine to do it manually if there are a few packages to update, but 
it's a real drag to update manually everything :(
