I am using the tutorial found here:

http://blog.micampe.it/articles/tag/dreamhost

It work until I try to run:

python2.4 bin/ez_setup.py

That causes this error:

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/test- easy-install-12226.write-test'

Tried this:

$ ls -ld /usr/lib/python2.4 drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 12288 Jan 17 2007 /usr/lib/python2.4

So I don't get it. If write permission is required, how could this tutorial have ever worked? Or, am I missing something?

Is there another tutorial somewhere? Or, should I just give up?
