Can't install easy_install, beginner
Hi, I just switch from xbian to openelec and having problems to install flexget,I got this message
OpenELEC:~ # python ez_setup.py
Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg
error: can't create or remove files in install directory
The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:
[Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/test-easy-install-1214.write-test'
The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account. If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.
For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:
http://peak.telecommunity.com/EasyInstall.html
Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.
Any suggestion how to proceed?
