while compiling OpenFOAM 1.2 I
 

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:

I would appreciate if any body can help.

Well, looks like your /tmp dir
 

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
 

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.
