access denied error

[hygge]

i have a problem with 'ebuild install'. follow the steps i did before i got the problem:

HYGGES NOTES - turbocell in gentoo

The wavelan2_cs source needs to be extracted on top of the pcmcia-cs source. We dont have the option to do this at 'emerge pcmcia-sc', therefor we need to split the merge-process.

Unpack the pcmcia-sc-sources:
# ebuild pcmcia-cs-3.2.4.ebuild unpack

Extract the ORiNOCO distribution archive on top of it:
# cd /var/tmp/portage/pcmcia-cs-3.2.4/work/pcmcia-cs-3.2.4/
# tar xfvz /path/to/wavelan2_cs-TC1.04.tar.gz

I noticed that the code wont compile if you dont uncomment
a variable (never used) defination in wireless/wavelan2_cs.c.
# nano -w wireless/wavelan2_cs.c
Search for 'int x' and comment out that line, like this:
// int x= *wrq->u.data.pointer; //slr
# ebuild pcmcia-cs-3.2.4.ebuild compile

Put the apps in a tmp-installdir:
# ebuild pcmcia-cs-3.2.4.ebuild install
At this point I got access denied error (big red characters and 3 beeps).
There's a function that cant write to /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r5/modules.dep.

any ideas why it stops here?

thanks in advance! //hugo
