You need a tmp dir in the same directory UnrealIRCd is in, not /tmp.

And the output of ls -al?
What OS are you using?

[skorot]

Code: Select all

[sshd@supermicro Unreal3.2]$ ls -al
total 1128
...
drwxrwxrwx   2 sshd     sshd         4096 Aug 28 17:06 tmp

i have Red Hat Linux release 7.2

And you are in the right installation dir?
Eg:

Code: Select all

$ grep DPATH include/setup.h
#define DPATH "/home/syzop/Unreal3.2"
$ ls -ald /home/syzop/Unreal3.2/tmp
drwx------  2 syzop syzop 4096 Aug 27 02:48 /home/syzop/Unreal3.2/tmp

[skorot]

Code: Select all

[sshd@supermicro Unreal3.2]$ grep DPATH include/setup.h
#define DPATH "/var/.../IRCD/Unreal3.2"
[sshd@supermicro Unreal3.2]$ ls -ald /var/.../IRCD/Unreal3.2/tmp
drwxrwxrwx   2 sshd     sshd         4096 Aug 28 17:06 /var/.../IRCD/Unreal3.2/tmp

No idea then.

You could strace/truss, if you are bored:P.
('strace src/ircd' or 'strace -o strace.log src/ircd', etc...)
