CFDEM compile error - mkdir: cannot create directory ‘’: No such file or directory

Hi,

I have problems compiling CFDEM. The solution to a similar problem (http://www.cfdem.com/forums/update-cfdem-251-compile-error) did not help.
The first error of this kind happens at the end of the submodel compilation.

I suppose this is some kind of environment variable problem. The output of cfdemSysTest shows no problems:
