Hello,<div><br></div><div>I just successfully fired up my first cluster in short order which is brilliant!</div><div><br></div><div>My first step was to try and install additional modules so that I could save a custom AMI for future use. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Doing an 'easy_install <packagename>' yielded:</div><div><br></div><div>-------------------------</div><div><br></div><div><div>error: can't create or remove files in install directory</div>
<div><br></div><div>The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the</div><div>installation directory:</div><div><br></div><div> [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/test-easy-install-5265.write-test'</div>
<div><br></div><div>The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or</div><div>the distutils default setting) was:</div><div><br></div><div> /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/</div><div><br>
</div><div>Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? If the</div><div>installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in</div><div>as the administrator or "root" account. If you do not have administrative</div>
<div>access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation</div><div>directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment</div><div>variable.</div></div><div><br></div><div><meta charset="utf-8">-------------------------</div>
<div><br></div><div>Does sgeadmin not have admin rights? Should I be able to install software at will without permissions issues?</div><div><br></div><div>Chris</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
