I've been attempting to use LyX on a G4 iCube (Mac OS X 10.3.9). I regularly get dialog windows with messages like:

Could not remove the temporary directory /tmp/lyx_tmpdir24268OWp5HN/lyx_tmpbuf0

I've checked the /tmp directory: the folder in question is there, and permissions are appropriately set, so I'm at a loss as to why this error occurs.

Hodel-iCube:/tmp/lyx_tmpdir24268OWp5HN hodelas$ ls -lRa
