+It's likely Ghidra is trying to recompile its Sleigh files.
+If it's truly read-only, then it's not likely a user is modifying the Sleigh specs.
+Rather, it's likely the timestamps of the installation files were inadvertently updated.
+If the ```.slaspec``` or ```.sinc``` files have a later timestamp than the ```.sla``` files, Ghidra will atttempt to recompile them, writing them to the installation directory.
+If you unpacked the installation and then copied it to the read-only location, be certain the timestamps are preserved by the copy.
+If you are using an unofficial installer package, it's likely the timestamps were inadvertently modified by the packagers.
+You should be able to fix this by updating the timestamps of the ```.sla``` files.

+touch `find . -name '*.sla'`
+```
