Hi, everybody -- I just tried to install newly downloaded so5.0 following their instruction (run ./setup form installation directory), but my installation stopped with the msg that the disk was full. "df" showed that my / partition was indeed 100% full, adn I discovered it is due to so5 using /tmp directory (and my root partition, which the /tmp is part of, is only 32 Mb). My question is: a) I would not want to repartition the drive to install this single program. Can I get around the /tmp being the directory for the install process? b)alternatively, can I, temporary, make a link for /tmp to point to /usr/local/tmp and so trick the system long enough to install the so5 in my /home partition? Are there any side effects I should be aware of ( I am planning on getting back to regular /tmp right after)? Can the above be accomplished by setting some command line path (I'm afraid I'm not the programmer) like SET TMP=/usr/local/tmp in my bash shell (slink version)?
I would hate to realize I have downloaded something for 7 hours for nothing... TIA, damir
