I think that the problem must be something a little different. PSPP does create a temporary file when it writes a .sav, but it creates the temporary file in the same directory as the final .sav. Luis's error message shows that this is likely what is happening, because you can see that the final file name is /a/long/path/foo.sav and the temporary file name is /a/long/path/foo.sav.tmpblahblah. I still don't know the root of the problem, but I think it is likely that chasing down the tempdir is the wrong direction. _______________________________________________ Pspp-users mailing list Pspp-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-users
