I had been doing runoffs with nroff for a number of cycles, and suddenly
was confronted with the error message shown in the subject line. I have
(just to be sure) replaced nroff with a fresh copy, and it made no difference.
Just what/where is the "temp" file it is trying to create, and why would it
just suddenly go t.u.? I'm stumped. And have more docs to work on :-).
Thanks,
Bud Hovell

And have more docs to work on :-). Nroff creates a temporary file in /usr/tmp. If this directory is unwritable or there is no space available, you will get such a message (as given in the subject line). Steven Conrad -- Steven A.

Make sure /usr/tmp is still there and mode 777, I have had a problem
with it disappearing under 3.5. The culprit was /etc/.cleanup which
would remove it if it hadn't been touched in 2 days which happens alot
here.
