while compiling OpenFOAM 1.2 I got the following errors regardless of the fact that free disk space is 35 GB.

finiteVolume/ddtSchemes/EulerDdtScheme/EulerDdtSchemes.C:40: fatal error: error writing to /tmp/ccUN0zCh.s: No space left on device
LaunderGibsonRSTM/LaunderGibsonRSTM.C:348: fatal error: error writing to /tmp/ccsslpCE.s: No space left on device

faDdtSchemes/EulerFaDdtScheme/EulerFaDdtSchemes.C:42: fatal error: error writing to /tmp/cciY95in.s: No space left on device

a detailed print of one sample or error is:

compilation terminated.

I would appreciate if any body can help.

Well, looks like your /tmp directory is not on the same partition as the one with 35GB of free disk space...

Simply do the following command:

df /tmp

You should see something close to 100% of utilization for the partition hosting /tmp.

Solution 1: if possible, clean up your /tmp directory, or any other directory located on the full disk partition. Remove some temporary files, etc. If you are unsure, ask your local smiling sysadmin.

Solution 2: it is quite possible that the size of the partition hosting /tmp is too small for the kind of utilization you are doing with your workstation. It happens. On my workstation, I always make sure I have a large /tmp.

Simply read the man page for g++. Look up the section where they talk about the environment variable TMPDIR.
Set your TMPDIR environment variable to a directory located on your 35GB free disk space. Restart your compilation.

That should do the trick.

Have fun.

Thanks for your help. You are right about /tmp being on a different partition, df /tmp = 98%. I used the solution 2 and it worked. Many thanks for your help.
