You have to make sure that:

• the folder /lib exists in the document root
• the webserver process has permission to write to that folder.

If you create the folder with your ftp account, the webserver process will have no access. You can set permissions to 777, but then everyone has access. Best would be to set permission to 770 and make the group of the folder the webserver group id.
