[CMake] CPack 2.6.2: can't create temporary directory

[David Cole]

OK.... so when I reproduce this issue, I see that I do not have directory
creation permissions in "/opt" on my Linux machine. So... the error message
is not really surprising to me. Plus, I get the same error with CMake 2.6.0
and CMake 2.6.2.
Maybe you lost permissions to your "/opt" directory at the same time that
you upgraded to CMake 2.6.2.....??

Let me know if you still think this is a CMake issue after you verify that
you really have different behavior between 2.6.0 and 2.6.2 on the same
machine.


Thanks,
