[details of your average /tmp problem snipped].

From the INSTALLATION file:

    The environment variable "LYNX_TEMP_SPACE", if set, will override the
    default path prefix for temporary files that was defined via the constant
    "TEMP_SPACE" in userdefs.h.  See userdefs.h for more information.
