Hi all, When I start R, it gives mkdir: Ne peut cr?er le r?pertoire `/home/mart/tmp/Rtmp11729'.: No such file or directory (I specify that my home path is /home/mart and the R version is 1.7.1) How I have to configure R to use the directory /tmp instead of /home/mart/tmp ? What is utility of this directory tmp for R? Thanks, Olivier
Finally, i found the answer for my question... it is only necessary to add setenv TMPDIR /tmp/ in my .cshrc Martin Olivier wrote:> Hi all, > > When I start R, it gives > > mkdir: Ne peut cr?er le r?pertoire `/home/mart/tmp/Rtmp11729'.: No > such file or directory > > > (I specify that my home path is /home/mart and the R version is 1.7.1) > > How I have to configure R to use the directory /tmp instead of > /home/mart/tmp ? > What is utility of this directory tmp for R? > > > Thanks, > Olivier > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > >-- ------------------------------------------------------------- Martin Olivier INRA - Unit? prot?omique LIRMM - IFA/MAB 2, Place Viala 161, rue Ada 34060 Montpellier C?dex 1 34392 Montpellier C?dex 5 Tel : 04 99 61 26 14 Tel : O4 67 41 86 71 martinol at ensam.inra.fr martin at lirmm.fr
Probably you have TMPDIR set in your enviroment to point to /home/mart/tmp and that does not exist or is not writable. Solution: don't have variables pointing to inappropriate places?

See ?tempdir as well as internal uses (for HTML links, the editor temp file and so on). -- Brian D.
