<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Good Morning, <br>
my name is Pilar and i would need some help for installing MRTG.<br>
I am ashamed to recognize that I wasn't be able to install zlib. <br>
<br>
what happens is:<br>
<br>

<br>
No se puede escribir en `zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz' (Permiso denegado).<br>
<br>
it means like access denied. You may think that is a silly question or
something like that, but it 's now when i am starting working on linux
operating system and i don't know if it is an standard error or i am doing
something wrong. <br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your time<br>
<br>
PIli<br>
<br>
I should apologize for my non-fluent englishint he case i had made mistakes</span></font></p>
