    unable to make install - read-only file system

    Hello everyone, this is my first time to this forum, first time using knoppix and first time with linux so please understand if my question sounds stupid....

    I have a partion on my hard drive for knoppix already (/mnt/hda5/). Knoppix works fine and I have downloaded some packages that I require and these are sitting on my new partition.

    I am trying to install:

    glib-2.6.1
    atk-1.9.0
    gtk+-2.6.1
    pango-1.8.0

    However... starting with glib... seems others require glib first...

    I ./configure and all seems fine, i then make and all looks fine though when i try to make install i am returned errors:

    knoppix@ttyp1[glib-2.6.1]$ make install
    make install-recursive
    make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/hda5/gtk/glib-2.6.1'
    Making install in .
    make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/hda5/gtk/glib-2.6.1'
    make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/hda5/gtk/glib-2.6.1'
    /bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/bin
    mkdir -p -- /usr/local/bin
    mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/bin': Read-only file system
    make[3]: *** [install-binSCRIPTS] Error 1
    make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/hda5/gtk/glib-2.6.1'
    make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2
    make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/hda5/gtk/glib-2.6.1'
    make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/hda5/gtk/glib-2.6.1'
    make: *** [install] Error 2

    What is the problem here and how do I fix it?

    Thank you

    Still have same problem though now experiencing problems with all files on hda5... says they are a Read-Only File System. What could have caused this and how can I fix it? I am unable to extract any files or anything while in this state.

    Right click on desktop hda5 icon and goto actions. Then change read/write option. That should now allow you to write to the hd.
