Ah -- cygwin. More below.

You don't need to setup anything -- $TMPDIR is a convention used on most
Unix systems that if there is a "preferred" location for a [per-user]
temporary directory, the OS will set it in $TMPDIR. If you don't use it
(I don't know what Cygwin does by default), then don't worry about it.

For linux, try "man syslog". Look in /var/log; probably
/var/log/messages.

Don't worry about it. See below.

Well this looks like somewhat of Anju's fault for not providing you with
enough information about Cygwin when you asked a few days ago -- sorry
about that. I did not put 2 and 2 together to realize that you were the
guy who asked about cygwin recently until I went back and looked at the
archives a few minutes ago. :-(
Cygwin does *not* work for the LAM 7.0 series (it says so directly in the
release notes in the LAM User Guide for 7.0). You will need to get the
latest copy of LAM (i.e., what will soon become 7.1) either from SVN
directly or a nightly snapshot (see http://www.lam-mpi.org/svn/). There
are things that you need to do to make LAM work properly under cygwin --
see the Release Notes section of the User Guide included in the snapshot
(trillium/doc/user.pdf). In particular, note that you must be running the
Cygwin IPC daemon.
Hope this helps.
