change a path

Hi,
Does anyone know how to fix this:

I am trying to install a couple of modules PerlMagick for one.  The 
error I keep getting on all three of them is:

lipo: can't open input file: 
/var/folders/LH/LHR2wOKBHPif1NtQky7mbZorFD2/-Tmp-//ccrI61Hv.out (No 
such file or directory)
make: *** [Magick.o] Error 1

I can't find a way to change the path.  I have googled this most of 
the day... I have tried to add the line:
	$ENV{'TMPDIR'} = "/var/folders/LH/LHR2wOKBHPif1NtQky7mbZorFD2/-Tmp-";
to the MakeFile.PL but that didn't work.  I am using:
Mac 10.5.6
perl 5.8.8
and no brain
