firefox-kde-opensuse takes forever before failing to install.
Hi!
I learned that firefox has a KDE variant and have been trying to install it for some time now.
I first tried with yaourt. It took me VERY long time, before it failed (no disk space left reported -- plenty of disk space exists... something like 40+ GB)
I then manually tried to git clone and makepkg -si, but it also takes equally long time and failed for the same reason.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
very n00b.

Re: firefox-kde-opensuse takes forever before failing to install.
Firefox needs a massive amount of space to compile, my guess is that you've somewhere set /tmp as your compile directory which is limited to 50% of your RAM (I believe that yaourt helpfully does this for you).
Try in a different location after unsetting this - and be prepared for a long wait.
