Lynx wants a /tmp directory in your Home directory. Itīs because of
security. Normal /tmp is world-readable and no good place to store
mail or other sensible data.
Just go to your home and do a mkdir tmp and everything should be okay.

BTW: This is one of the facts you find in Mandrake Answers by Tom
Berger (English) or on my site in German
