You're trying to install these apps (tagging and photologue) as a regular user to a place in the system (/usr/lib) that is only writeable by the root or super user account.
I suggest using "sudo python setup.py install" (without the quotes) for the quick fix and reading up on using linux a bit more before continuing. I would start with the ubuntu with the ubuntu guide and the other links below. http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/switching/index.html http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/system_administration_books/ubuntu_starter_guide/ Mike -- Will Rogers never met you.
