Re: Error "Can't find a temporary directory" on command "svn diff"

If I search "apr-tmp.XXXXXX" in strace(), I found it only in the good
system :

open("/tmp/apr-tmp.SojXId", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = 3
write(3, "!", 1) = 1
close(3) = 0
unlink("/tmp/apr-tmp.SojXId") = 0

In the bad system, no strace() contains the string apr-tmp

Well, I gave you the search ordering, so you know how Subversion (via APR)
is looking for a temporary directory. Does your strace indicate that any
of
these directories listed is being tried? If none of the three environment
variables are set, you should see it looking in hard-coded directories.
Search your strace() output for "apr-tmp.XXXXXX", which is the name of the
temporary file APR creates to test writability.
