OpenERP server prob message when installing an app [Errno 13] python permission

Question

I recently installed open erp v7 on ubuntu 13.10, I could install the warehouse app fine, as well as the sales app , but I'm having trouble installing a few other apps. It looks like it is either a permission problem ( although I doubt it as the warehouse and sales apps installed without any problem ) or a python related problem. I have no clue on what I must do. Any help would be great. Here is the message I got below:

Answer 1

it seems that the (linux-)user running the openerp server doesn't have the right to create a directory on a specific destination (maybe /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/openerp/addons/product_custom_attributes). so try to set the access rights on your linux-server correct.
