You need to make the package directory writable, or chmod it to 0777.
How do I chmod? / what is chmod? (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=477)

You also might want to search the forums, there can be a few issues that relate to the error.  From having to install a temp folder to mod_security issues and file ownership problems.
