IOException starting Processing - mac os x

When I try to start up Processing, I get spammed with java errors like the following:

I tried doing chmod 777 on the build directory/folders/etc., and I tried some different versions of Java, but I think it may be a deeper problem.

I'm running Mac OS X 10.3.9 with Java version 1.4.2

Thanks!

that appears as though some other application has hosed the permissions on your /tmp or /tmp/buildxxxx directories. or you're not using release 115?

also make sure you're not running from the disk image, however i don't think that's the error.
