| This is a different error message than I was receiving.  However, the

Thanks, but this is not the problem, the temp dir is /tmp, I have write 
permissions, and the filesystem is not full:

[jcard@feup] l -R /tmp/lyx_tmpdir139097R2doD 
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir139097R2doD:
total 1
drwxr-xr-x    2 jcard    users          35 Jul  2 17:51 lyx_tmpbuf0

/tmp/lyx_tmpdir139097R2doD/lyx_tmpbuf0:
