You should not copy uour package to /opt/ros/hydro/share ! You get this error because the the package folder is now likely owned by root and not writable by you. As a rule of thumb you should never manually edit anything underneath /opt/ros.

Remove anything you added to /opt/ros/hydro/share, create a rosbuild workspace (ontop the base install, or ontop of your catkin workspace, see http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/using_rosbuild_with_catkin ), add the source to that workspace and try again with rosmake.

Edit: Maybe the face_detector package from http://wiki.ros.org/people as suggested by @Ken_in_JAPAN is a better choice, because it is a catkin package released into hydro and can even be installed via APT. I have no idea how the two packages compare functionality wise, though.
