#213 Error: can't find file ${PATH}/.config/libreoffice/4/user/TexMaths/tmp/tmpfile.bsl

I just opened a new file on Writer and typed something on the tool and clicked 'LuaLaTeX' to render then I got the error and some LuaLaTeX preamble stuff on the document.

Could you post an example of equation where the error occurs (with your TexMaths preamble)?

Preamble:

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[usenames]{color}
\usepackage{ifxetex}
\usepackage{ifluatex}

% XeLaTeX compiler
\ifxetex

    \usepackage{fontspec}
    \usepackage{unicode-math}

    % Uncomment these lines for alternative fonts
    %\setmainfont{FreeSerif}
    %\setmathfont{FreeSerif}

% LuaLaTeX compiler
\else\ifluatex

    \usepackage{fontspec}
    \usepackage{lualatex-math}

% LaTeX compiler
\else

    % Uncomment this line for sans-serif maths font
    %\everymath{\mathsf{\xdef\mysf{\mathgroup\the\mathgroup\relax}}\mysf}

\fi\fi

% Uncomment this line for custom color
%\definecolor{mycolor}{RGB}{0, 130, 180}

Code:

\sigma = \sum{\frac{(x_1 - \overline{x})^2}{n}}

If it adds, I'm running Tex Live installed separately on my Manjaro following the instructions on the Quickstart.

Here's some output I think it might be useful:

Errata

• On the tittle I said "[...] ${PATH}/.config/libreoffice/4/user/TexMaths/tmp/tmpfile.bsl"
  The right path is ${HOME}/.config/libreoffice/4/user/TexMaths/tmp/tmpfile.bsl
  The attached image fix this but I wanted to change the tittle, but as I can't, I think it's better pointing it here
