Description Jochem Kossen 2002-11-04 14:42:54 UTC
When running latex2html (app-text/latex2html) on a file, it gives this error:

Error: '/var/tmp/portage/latex2html-2002.1/temp' not usable as temporary directory.

After investigation, it appears as if some tempdir variables are set wrongly:

jochem@lisa up-to-date-with-freebsd $ find /usr/lib/latex2html -type f -exec
grep -H temp {} \; |grep /var 
/usr/lib/latex2html/pstoimg.pl:my $def_tmp =
'/var/tmp/portage/latex2html-2002.1/temp'; # Space for temporary files
/usr/lib/latex2html/pstoimg.pl:Use I<path> to store temporary files. Defaults to
/var/tmp/portage/latex2html-2002.1/temp on this
/usr/lib/latex2html/cfgcache.pm:$cfg{'TMPSPACE'} =
q'/var/tmp/portage/latex2html-2002.1/temp';
/usr/lib/latex2html/l2hconf.pm:$TMP = '/var/tmp/portage/latex2html-2002.1/temp';
