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 13] Permission denied: '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/test-easy-install-6518.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/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://packages.python.org/distribute/easy_install.html

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

[c4milo]

btw, sudo easy_install http://closure-linter.googlecode.com/files/closure_linter-latest.tar.gz worked fine for me.

[fsateler]

There is no need to install closure linter globally. Just use it from the deps directory. At least it works for me. Doing npm install -f linter (so that npm doesn't remove the package after failing) works just fine
