I've been getting this error message Lightroom cannot start because it cannot create files in the temporary file location “/var/folders/lK/lKbPbq2OF0aPCbMnDc erE TI/-Tmp-”

I've also been getting others errors about cannot create or modify temporary files when trying to install other programs. Also some of my documents on my computer will not open and crash.

If it helps any, I've tried sharing to another computer right before this happened. I turned sharing off to try and fix it but to no avail.

Any help would be helpful.

I've tried doing this as read not sure if it helps:

ls -Odel $TMPD

This is what I had in response:

drwxr-xr-x 36 root admin - 1224 Dec 9 00:29 /var/folders/lK/lKbPbq2OF0aPCbMnDc+erE+++TI/-Tmp-/
