[Gnuplot-py-users] Installing gnuplot-py-1.7 on Mac OSX

[Hannah S. <han...@co...>]

OK, so I've downloaded and untar'd the gnuplot-py-1.7 file, and tried to =
install it, but I keep coming up=20
against errors. I suspect this is quite possibly due to my general incomp=
etence, so some help/advice/
pointers would be greatly appreciated.

In the readme file it says: 3. Install by changing to the directory and t=
yping "python setup.py install".

I assumed this meant in terminal, so I went and did that, and got this er=
ror:=20

creating /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/=
site-packages/Gnuplot
error: could not create '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.=
4/lib/python2.4/site-
packages/Gnuplot': Permission denied

Am I right in thinking that this means I haven't installed Gnuplot correc=
tly? If so, what could I have done=20
wrong, as I simply followed the auto-install prompt.

Many thanks in advance,
Hannah
