Hi,

This error also occurred when I tried to boot LAM under cygwin.

So, in which file should I set up $TMPDIR? And how to set up $TMPDIR?

For linux case, I couldn't find any files related to syslog; for cygwin
case, I found an executable file 'syslog.exe' located in /bin. I don't
think this is the file that I need.
 
Anyhow, for linux and cygwin, /tmp exists and writable. Thus, any more
suggestion for this problem?
