Hi,
When trying to compile fftw3.3.3 in our cluster I got following
error. Apparently, it try to guess the build-type by trying to create
a directory in scratch. I am not sure why it will try to create a
directory there and then it fails. I was wondering whether there is
any way-out to avoid this issue. Is there any way in a machine to know
its build type and if so, what is the option in fftw to mention the
directory.
There are OS-based ways for a program to ask for the name of a safe
unique temporary filename for it to use. It's possible this kind of
mechanism is serving a location for a file at which users don't have
write permissions. I'd take this up with your system admins.

Below is the error message.
