rename the Unreal folder
download 3.2.2
extract the files
run ./Config
accept the defaults for the directories
set your other options
run make
DO NOT run make install

I had the same error and had been working on it for a week or a little more.. and i finally realize what is it

as ever privileges set on the tmp directory....

i had do this:

*Set the owner of the tmp directory to nobody:nogroup
*Set the privilegies of the tmp directory to 777 in order to allow the server to create the files asociated with the modules....
*Set the adecuate privileges and owner to prevent another thing.

I don't think setting the privileges of the tmp directory to 777 is absolutely necessary. Unreal should be able to write into it with chmode 700, if the owner is the same user that you use to start the ircd. Of course, 777 will always work, but I think it's a little bit against security (even if noone except you can access the Unreal3.2 directory).

By the way, see http://forums.unrealircd.com/viewtopic.php?p=6502#6502.
