Most likely the directory "/usr/packages/Eiffel/library/structures
/sorted_list.E" is protected so that you cannot place files there.
"ec" has to create a file in that directory, because SORTED_LIST has
not been compiled yet with the options you have in your .eiffel file.

Make sure that the directory allows rw access for all users.

Hope this helps.
