Cannot run Sonnet on a UNIX system: Unable to write to registry
Symptoms
When you attempt to run Sonnet on a UNIX system, you receive the following error message:
Sonnet Warning- SC4870:
Unable To Write Registry, Settings Can Not Be Saved.
Can not create the /diskl/tmp/test/.sonnet_preferences/11.53/variables file.
Sonnet Warning- SC4870:
Unable To Write Registry, Settings Can Not Be Saved.
Can not create the /diskl/tmp/test/.sonnet_preferences/11.53/sonnet file.
Cause
There is a bug in the software, which prevents Sonnet from writing to the registry when you have set the environmental variable TMPDIR=/tmp on your system.
Workaround
You should unset the TMPDIR variable in your environment. Tmp files are still created in /tmp if the software program creating the tmp file does not override this.
