Hi, Based on the message it seem that autom4te (part of the autoconf tools) can't write some temporary file to the standard temp location /tmp. That would quite strange as if the temp directory is not there $TMPDIR should be defined, but I suspect it's not, otherwise autom4te would have picked it up.
Can you confirm that you don't have permission to write in neither /tmp nor $TMPDIR (if non-emty)? Unless it's some really tricky issue, I suspect that the configuration of the cluster you are using might be broken. One thing you can try is to use CMake (see http://goo.gl/GF5Cx), you might get lucky and be able to avoid the problem.
