Everything in the /Applications folder should be writable by anyone in the admin group, so your configuration is to blame here, not the instructions. Some package you installed probably had bad permissions... This should work for most systems.

If you open up Disk Utility, there is a button that will repair permissions on a volume. With correct permissions, these steps should've succeeded. Given this error, you should probably do it.

Change you PATH:

>emacs ~/.bashrc Add: PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH export PATH OK. Then I do: python Python 2.3 (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11) [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>

You also need to set the PATH from the shell prompt, or start a new terminal window. Editing .bashrc doesn't do anything to a currently running bash process.
