"No temporary directory found"

Hello everyone. I upgraded Calibre to 2.70 and when I tried to open it a messages appeared:

calibre, version 2.70.0
ERROR: No se pudo crear el directorio temporal: No se pudo crear el directorio temporal, calibre no puede iniciarse. Pulse «Mostrar detalles» para maś información.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/__init__.py", line 938, in __init__
File "site-packages/calibre/ptempfile.py", line 136, in base_dir
File "tempfile.py", line 325, in mkdtemp
File "tempfile.py", line 269, in gettempdir
File "tempfile.py", line 212, in _get_default_tempdir
IOError: [Errno 2] No usable temporary directory found in ['/tmp', '/var/tmp', '/usr/tmp', '/home/gerardo']

I don't know how to fix it. Can you help? Thanks

Your Linux system seems to have blocked access to all standard TMP locations

If you tell use which Distro and version. Someone familiar may be able to help

@Averack - if needs must, you could use the CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR Environment variable
