It looks like there is a problem with the full path name of the error file
that the compiler tries to create in the Temp folder. A bug in the compiler
could cause this problem (on a Mac) if the path contains a ' character.
This bug has now been fixed.

So, if you have installed Clean in a folder with a ' in the name of
the full path, move the entire Clean folder to a directory without a
' in the path. If this is not the case, then please send me the full
path name of the Clean folder on your computer.
