The answer on Windows is simple: BigWig is not supported on that platform. There is probably a simple fix, if someone were to just go into Windows and use gdb to fix the Windows implementation of the abstraction layer.
The problem on Dans' linux seems to be lack of permission for writing to /tmp. A possible answer is to switch Jim Kent's library to the Java implementation of BigWig, but that would be a lot of work and seems risky.
