This sort of error can be caused by bad permissions on "/tmp" (or wherever $TMPDIR is pointing, if set). Here's what mine looks like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls -ld /tmp drwxrwxrwt 13 root root 4096 2005-08-18 14:42 /tmp If the permissions look OK, you should also verify that the filesystem isn't completely full.
