It seems that the /tmp directory is missing from your system.

This can have two causes, IMHO: You either have a _totally broken_
un*x[1] installation, or you run on Windows or another platform that has
different file naming conventions.


HTH,
Markus



[1] un*x is a shortcut for all unixoid operating systems, including BSD,
Linux and even MacOS X.

Right.  And notice that the "your system" here is the _server_, not
the machine you're running psql from.  If you want local files, you
need to use \copy instead.

_IF_ you're on linux it could be due to selinux. setenforce 0 might solve 
the problem tempoarily. I would assume there should've been some existing 
discussion threads. (setenforce 1 afterwards.)
