mktemp is not POSIX - so if you moved the script from machine A to machine B, especially if B is different, mktemp may not exist, or it may be parked in a directory that supports legacy stuff - ie., not /usr/bin

NAME
explain_mktemp_or_die - make a unique temporary filename and report errors
SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/mktemp.h>
char *explain_mktemp_or_die(char *pathname);
char *explain_mktemp_on_error(char *pathname);
DESCRIPTION
The explain_mktemp_or_die function is used to call the mktemp(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained
from the explain_mktemp(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
The explain_mktemp_on_error function is used to call the mktemp(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
obtained from the explain_mktemp(3) function, but still returns to the caller.
pathname
The pathname, exactly as to be passed to the mktemp(3) system call.
RETURN VALUE
The explain_mktemp_or_die function only returns on success, see mktemp(3) for more information. On failure, prints an explanation and
exits, it does not return.
The explain_mktemp_on_error function always returns the value return by the wrapped mktemp(3) system call.
EXAMPLE
The explain_mktemp_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
char *result = explain_mktemp_or_die(pathname);
