Fatal Error: Could not create required lock file on startup on Mac OSX Yosemite [Solved]

that error occurs because it couldnt write the lock file to /tmp that ensures multiple Roons are not running…

NOTE: I just checked the code and I’m not obeying $TEMP/$TMP (since the code has to work across two different processes with possibly different env vars) – just putting it in /tmp.

all the code does is create a file in /tmp, and then try to F_SETLK it
