Wolfgang,
The LyX temporary directory cannot, as far as I know, be renamed. You
can alter its parent directory (/tmp by default) in Tools >
Preferences... > Paths, but there is no reason I can see to do so.
The problem is not with the name of the temporary directory. What is
needed now is to figure out why the .tex file was not "properly"
closed. I do not see anything suspicious in the file name. Is there a
message in the LaTeX log, prior to the "not closed properly" bit,
that indicates a problem with compilation?
If this error repeats, you might try going to the temporary directory
and opening PBR-4thEdition-20170410-A.tex in a text editor (xed if
you are on Linux Mint). Assuming this is the main document, it should
begin with \documentclass... and end with \end{document}. You might
be able to find a problem (missing \end statement or something) in
the file that could help narrow the cause.

Paul, I am enclosing a minimal example showing the error(s) I am
incounting. I have 2 nomenclature, one is put into a note. If I
dissolve this note, I get the error.
Any idea what is going wrong? I have a few more nomenclature which
stop the tex output, but I did not see any common properties. I could
provide those, if wanted.
Wolfgang
If I open the "bad" nomenclature and write the nomenclature symbol new,
it's working alright.
Knowing that I could close my

If this happens to others, they would probably be as perplexed as I am.
If it is a large document it is difficult to find the source of the
error. What one could do is to put the nomenclature in a (yellow) note:
The error should disappear; it is now easy to find the "bad"
nomenclature by just checking in the outline /nomenclature entries/. I
do this also in cases where (probably) citations are causing errors by
putting the bibliography in a note box. These errors are also not so
easily spotted, although some hints are given in the log file.
