On unix and unix-like systems, such as Mac OS X, the /tmp directory is specifically made to be writable by all users, so that the programs they run can write temporary data. You may want to use OS X's "disk utility" to "check (and repair) permissions". Cheers, and thanks for keeping us updated about your install progress. -- olivier
