Usually setup.py will try to install stuff by default in /usr/local, which is owned by root and not by you. That's the most obvious source of 'permission denied' messages. If you try to install into a directory owned by you (using something like 'python setup.py --prefix =/home/engqasim2/local' things may work. Ubuntu linux has the concept of 'sudo' which allows you to temporarily become root if you have administrator privileges on your machine. I'm not sure about redhat these days.
