QUESTION:
I get the following message when I run ls -l¦pg
pg: 0652-121 Cannot create the temporary file.
I have looked at the filesystem space and it seems ok
more works vi works. What else do I need to check interms of file
systems or permissions.
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
A: I have tested this, and have been able to reproduce the error
by removing the file /var/tmp and the symbolic link to /var/tmp,
/usr/tmp. The reason for the error is that the command "pg" uses
the directory /var/tmp as a temporary scratch pad. Without the
directory, or the symbolic link, the "pg" command will fail with the
error you reported.
To correct the problem, log onto the RISC System/6000 as root,
and execute the following commands:
# mkdir /var/tmp (if AIX reports back that the directory exists,
that is okay)
# ln -s /var/tmp /usr/tmp
This should correct the problem.
