Yes, on some OS'es that 'read-only' bit also comes up with a lack of permissions, which would likely be the case if attempting to install to the system python site-packages.

Hi Brandon,

The 'Read-only file system' part makes me think the issue isn't related to the yt build. Usually that message happens when the filesystem detected an error and the OS remounts the file system in read-only mode. Are there any other issues on the FS? Are you able to manually create a file/directory on that FS?

Note that mercurial is being installed into /usr/local, which should never happen using the install script. That's why I asked how the install script was being invoked.

Hello All,

I am trying to install yt on a cluster at my institution and I ran the install script for the stable version and got this error: "error: could not create '/usr/local/python/2.7.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mercurial': Read-only file system".

The last few lines are copied below. Please let me know if I should send anything else.

Thanks! Brandon
