Re: [MACTCL] Strange problem with using exec and a read only file system

[Jim I. <ji...@ap...>]

This error comes in tclPipe.c when tcl goes to open the file to store 
the errors in the pipeline.  It is trying to make the file in /var/tmp 
so far as I can tell.  Even on a read-only file system, I an a little 
surprised that /var/tmp is not present & writeable - even if just as an 
in-memory filesystem...    So many tools rely on this...

But I have never played with how things get set up in Mac OS X when 
booted from a CD.
