Hi,
  When trying to compile fftw3.3.3 in our cluster I got following error. 
Apparently, it try to guess the build-type by trying to create a directory in 
scratch. I am not sure why it will try to create a directory there and then it 
fails. I was wondering whether there is any way-out to avoid this issue. Is 
there any way in a machine to know its build type and if so, what is the option 
in fftw to mention the directory.
Below is the error message.
