I do not know the exact cause but the relationship to the temporary file suggests one might check the TMPDIR environment variable setting is, is it set to a long path?

The typical default is /tmp. Ido notsuspect this relates to disk space availability, but you might check the space availability for the filesystem corresponding to the TMPDIR setting also.

Just curious, what compiler exactly are you using (add -V)? what OS?

Found some additional information in this thread.

It advises ensuring that /tmp offers "write" and "execute" permissions, and if any of the environment variables TMP, TMPDIR, or TEMP are used, then also check that permissions for those directories are also sufficient.
