   That's most likely a permissions issue. Make sure whatever user your local web server is running as can write to the wp-content tree.

   I had to change the permissions on the uploads directory (folder) I used

   chmod -R 777 /home/mel/www/wordpress/wp-content/uploads

   The -R has to be uppercase to change everything in the uploads directory Recursivly.
