i edited less-444/configure, and when i wanted to :wq vi claimed: "file 
is read-only".

so i changed the perms in another shell to 755.
retrying :wq yielded the same error again.

after closing vi with :q! and opening it again, i was able to save it.

i had to redo all previous changes of course...
