Dogan,

If your executable was compiled under 5.X with the
older efs file system, it might generate this error (or vica versa)
If that's the case, you'll have to partition the disk with
an efs tmp dir - not recomended! Can you recompile the binary?
What OS are you running now?

If this is indeed the case there are two possible workarounds:

1) set PFTMPDIR to point to an EFS file system, or

2) if you do not have an EFS file system handy, there was a small program
posted to the mailing list a LONG time ago (try November 1996) that you can
run to "patch" your 5.x executable so that it will work with XFS file
systems. Don't have the exact source of the patch program but it was one of
the Performer team (probably Rob Jenkins).

Cheers,
scott
