#1 fig2ps and cygwin - temporary file errors ...

[drastrogeek]

I installed fig2ps-1.4.1 in cygwin, but while the installation proceeded flawlessly, the program does not execute as expected. Here's an example of the output:

$ fig2ps cr3bp_setup.fig
This is fig2ps 1.4.1, Copyright (C) 2004-2006, 2008, 2009 by Vincent Fourmond

Job 1 -- file cr3bp_setup.fig
/tmp/_lgowOvx4x/job-001.fig: No such file or directory at /usr/local/bin/fig2ps line 361

I've searched through the documentation and found a comment in the ChangeLog that alluded to "Now using proper temporary files, which eliminate quite a fair amount of troubles." However, this is the only mention to issues with temporary files anywhere I've found. Is there some environment variable that has to be set to avoid this error? Is this problem exclusive to cygwin?
