Can't install into Application Folder

When going to install Chimera 0,6 I get this message: Can't install to the Application folder as it can't be modified. If I try installing it into the root of my 'Jaguar' partition it says the same, Jaguar can't be modified. At last I could find some folder on the HD that I could install to. Any idea as how I can fix this problem. The system is in single user mode and of course I'm 'administrative' user.



Thanks in advance

    Thanks big time, it worked after login' in again after repair How does this happen? I haven't been fiddling with permissions at all. Some 587 users owned the Jaguar partition???? But things are back to normal

    Well, I haven't actually installed anything that should be risky. I've installed previous builds of Chimera as well as the .Mac Backup solution and then Retrospect. I think of these 3 Retrospect might be the one because of all the files and folders it has to access to make full backup. Anyway, problem solved. Thanks mate
