In that case you should not submit a bug report. Someone will have to
clean up after you.

And the current year is approx. 2045... (1.9.1 is the current version)

It is saying that TMPDIR is not set to a valid directory, which is not
quite the same thing. It would appear that it is not set at all.

A temporary directory. "export TMPDIR=$TMP" would be a guess if you're
using bash. Otherwise, however you normally set environment variables.
Did you read the INSTALL and README.packages files? In particular
there seems to be a couple of gotchas involved when running under
