I've been using Lilypond, with Frescobaldi, on Linux happily for ages. But
today, when I tried to compile a few bars in Frescobaldi, I got the error:
fatal error: cannot create temp file: my_music_file.midi. 40227fc:
Permission denied
This is a first for me, and I tried running Lilypond on an old file, which
had compiled successfully before - again the same error. But also, when I
commented out the "midi" part of my score block, I got a new error:
Drawing systems...guile: uncaught throw to system-error: (("open-fdes"
"~A" ("Permission denied") (13)))
Clearly something has gone very wrong - but what? How do I find out where
the problem is, and how to fix it?
Note that Lilypond always writes its files into the current directory, of
which I have full user permission. I don't know if Lilypond writes
temporary files into another directory (say "/tmp") but there's plenty of
room there - it's not as though the filesystem is full.
Anyway, at the moment Lilypond is not working, and I don't know how to fix
it - so any help or advice will be very gratefully received!
Oh: Lilypond 2.22.1, and on a fairly recently upgraded Arch Linux
cheers and thanks,
Alasdair
