Can install django-rosetta package using "easy_install"

Question

I have django 1.2.4, Python 2.6.6 and latest osqa[july2012] installed on bluehost. I would like to translate the osqa app[works fine] using rosetta. I am using terminal on mac with ssh connection.

osqa is here

 ~/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/osqa/

When I want to install rosetta I run easy_install django-rosetta and I get the following error:

    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 30] 
Read-only file system: '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/test-easy-install-28753.write-test'The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
    the distutils default setting) was:/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/

How can I make it writable? The installation of osqa, django and python went smoothly but rosetta just doesnt want. I have ran the easy_install django-rosetta in the root dir and in site-packages dir.

In the long run you're much better off using virtualenv
