fftw3.3.3 in our cluster I got following error.
Apparently, it try to guess the build-type by trying to
create a directory in scratch. I am not sure why it will
try to create a directory there and then it fails. I was
wondering whether there is any way-out to avoid this
issue. Is there any way in a machine to know its build
type and if so, what is the option in fftw to mention the
directory.</font></div>

There are OS-based ways for a program to ask for the name of a safe
unique temporary filename for it to use. It's possible this kind of
mechanism is serving a location for a file at which users don't have
write permissions. I'd take this up with your system admins.<br>
