Well, it'd be useful to know whether "gcc -o run.me something.c" works,
meanwhile I'd guess that you have a directory protection problem in /tmp,
or some bad disk spots, or something.  Try doing different things
that use /tmp, do them as user `root', and so on.  Maybe you have
too little user-accessible disk space left in /tmp.  Most of these
guesses would, I think, result in a clearer message, but maybe not
under certain circumstances (as Unix isn't exactly architected to
deliver reliably clear diagnostics).
