Richard,
Noted!
Would it be possible to manually create the necessary folders before first run or is it more complex than that? Even then do folders need to be created on the fly during compilation?
Just a thought.

Manually creating the folder may work - depending on which one it is! I think LBB creates two folders, and one of them has a different name each time you run it (the GetTempFileName API is used to determine the name); if that's the one causing the error you're stuck. But if the troublesome folder is the one with the fixed name ('\lib' I think) the technique may be successful.
Let us know if you can make it work.
Richard.

If I knew the folder name I would give it a try, but the path is truncated in the notice window :
C:\user\<username>\Temp\BBC1570.tmp\....\lib\LBLIBC.BBC
Also the BBCnnnn.tmp folder name changes each time LBB is run so I guess that would prevent manual creation of folders. The created folder only contains a zero byte text file named '$'
Probably a no-goer then.

You can create the folder by entering the following at a Windows command prompt, and pressing Enter:
Code:
Is that sufficient to make LBB run?

Good news! Yes, manually creating \Temp\lib folder enables LBB to run in linux/WINE 1.4.1
I also compiled a bas file and the exe ran perfectly.
The lib folder incidently is empty!

Only after LBB has quit and 'cleaned up after itself', I hope! There should definitely be files there whilst it is running

Confirmed.
Must remember the workaround now. 
Thanks.
