Andrej, This usually means that you don't have write permissions for that directory. I assume the ubuntus are the same as Red Hat and Slackware: application installation is done by the root user, usually from root's login shell. Since the ubuntus prefer users use sudo rather than define a root password and use su -, try that route.
