[SOLVED] Trying to compile kernel but running out of disk space

nischg · 2011-01-12 12:30:47

Hi,

I swear I searched for a solution before posting.

I'm trying to install a Zen Kernel from AUR using yaourt but the process is failing because I'm running out of disk space.
I guess it's using /tmp to build.
How can I use some directory in my /home folder that has more space available?

Best regards

I don't use yaourt, but try this command:

man yaourt

Hi, you can use "yaourt -G <PKG>" to download the sources, then run makepkg inside the downloaded directory, then "pacman -U <PKG>" on the built package. or change TMPDIR in /etc/yaourtrc.

Turn /tmp into a sym link to a place with more space? Clean up the partition containing /tmp? It's generally a bad idea to have no space for /tmp.

Use makepkg instead of yaourt. Problem solved. !next

I was going to suggest that but felt it was too obvious a solution
