Which system are you on? Where is mktemp(1) from?
This is the crux of the issue: ``Where is mktemp(1) from?'' The code assumes that: f=`mktemp -d -q xxxxx` leaves the environment variable "f" containing the name of the directory. "mktemp(1)" is not a well-established tool and the ``-q'' option caused the one I was using to create the directory and not echo out its name. Consequently, the code assumed that the ``mktemp -d'' failed when it had not. So, the fix is to either test mktemp behavior before using it or to not use it. (BTW, the one I am using I wrote more than a decade ago. I changed the behavior of ``-q'', but nevertheless it is not a standard tool...) Thanks, Ralf.
