I would like to know too.
But sometimes one has to remove CMakeCache.txt first if reconfiguring with 
different settings.

If the configuration results are cached, it means that they are reused. Except 
for data which in previous
call were not found.

I guess this is good news although it would have been nice to know what
happened. Hopefully the problem stays away.

OK sounds good.

OK. Can you do the following:

1. Exit all LyX instances.
2. Run the command
  ls -lR /var/folders/_q/_lf49ll933z7xvnbfdtmn810gn/
3. Open one .lyx file (which you said does not cause an error).
4. Run the same command as in 2.
5. Open another .lyx file. This should produce the error. Before
clicking on OK for the error or anything else, run the same command as
in step 2 again.
6. (still without clicking OK on the error or anything else), run the
command
  mkdir 

So you should run the command in step 2 a total of 3 times and send us
all of the output. Also send us the output from the mkdir command.

I ditched the stable version, so only have 2.2.0alpha2 now.

OK.

Finally, I am not sure whether this is what you wanted, but I used the command

Yes this is what I wanted. I just wanted to confirm that the filesystem
your temporary directory is on is not full (as the error you posted
suggested).

many thanks Scott - now it feels like when you complain of a noise in the car, 
take it to the garage, and the car runs perfectly smoothly: I have been unable 
to reproduce the error! I have opened several files, and nothing!

So for the moment all seems to be running ok again, really sorry for the 
trouble! But I have your instructions should the problem reappear.

Thanks again!

Hi Paola,

Thanks for your testing and feedback!

What do you have listed in Tools > Preferences > Paths under Temporary
directory?
Before changing anything, please backup whatever path you have there
because we would like to know what it is.

Do you still have the stable version of LyX installed? You do not see
the problem there correct? On that version of LyX what do you have
listed in Tools > Preferences > Paths under Temporary directory?

Finally, what is the output of the command "df -h /var" ?

Would you mind bottom-posting (replying below the quote of the previous
email)? Sorry for the bother but it helps keep emails organized.

Best,

Scott

   ls -lR /var/folders/_q/_lf49ll933z7xvnbfdtmn810gn/

Yes this is what I wanted. I just wanted to confirm that the filesystem
your temporary directory is on is not full (as the error you posted
suggested).

Thanks Scott, and apologies for top posting!
The path for the temporary directory is:
/var/folders/_q/_lf49ll933z7xvnbfdtmn810gn/T
I ditched the stable version, so only have 2.2.0alpha2 now.
Finally, I am not sure whether this is what you wanted, but I used the command 
in a Terminal window, which returned:

Filesystem   Size   Used  Avail Capacity  iused ifree %iused  Mounted on

thanks Liviu, just updated the preferences. The mysterious “LyX could not 
create temporary directory” etc error message remains, the workaround being to 
exit LyX, re-launch it and open the file. At least with keeping the last 
session I can now open many files :-)
Thank you,
