I have the same issue.

Here is the line that helped me:

$ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/agda/lib/_build

It followed by complete recheck of agda standard library, and then everything worked fine.

@Konstantin: This still fails for me with agda 2.6.1-12 and agda-stdlib 1.3-1:
/usr/share/agda/lib/_build: createDirectory: permission denied
(Permission denied)

Tried your rm command, but I'm a complete noob (never installed agda before) so didn't know how to do a "complete recheck of agda standard library". Can you advise please?

@Catalin
Linux somehow sets wrong access permission to agda lib dir, and thats why agda can't create temporary directory for built source code.

So I suggest you to change owner for this lib dir by the following command (I double checked, this one should work):
$ sudo chown -R $USER /usr/share/agda/lib

By complete recheck I mean that agda will compile all standard library source code. It will be done automatically at your first attempt to check some agda file, for example, when you type commands from this ticket description.

@Konstantin: Your chown command helped, thank you. Not sure it's good security-wise, but I'm on a single-user laptop, so I don't care that much.

And this similar to another open bug report, by the way:

Please try again with:

agda >= 2.6.1-68
agda-stdlib >= 1.3-2

Note that according to agda-stdlib's library management system you'll need the following configurations:

$ cat .agda/libraries
/usr/share/agda/lib/standard-library.agda-lib
$ cat .agda/defaults
standard-library
