[SOLVED]/tmp fills up when building packages

When I try to install Red Eclipse with:

yaourt redeclipse

I get a BUNCH of write failed errors then:

redeclipse/bin/reserver_freebsd_64: Write failed
redeclipse/bin/reclient_freebsd_32: Write failed

says that /tmp is full.  I'm guessing I need to increase the size of the /tmp tmpfs.  How would I do this?

EDIT: after I try to install if I try to gksudo thunar I get an error "unable to copy xauthorization file" unless I delete all the files in /tmp and reboot

Re: [SOLVED]/tmp fills up when building packages

Easy solution would be to stop using yaourt...    or yaourt probably has a config option to move the build location.

Re: [SOLVED]/tmp fills up when building packages

EDIT: I just installed aurget

Re: [SOLVED]/tmp fills up when building packages

You can tell yaourt to build somewhere else, use --tmp commandline switch or edit /etc/yaourtrc, uncomment and change

#TMPDIR="/tmp"

to somewhere else.

Re: [SOLVED]/tmp fills up when building packages

I just switched to aurget becouse yaourt wouldn't build somewhere eles after I edited /etc/yaourtrc. but thanks anyways
