Problem to install Xfce4-RC3 with the installer...

Hi,

I'm using Archlinux and I tried to install Xfce4-RC3 but I get error. The installation wizard stops with this error: 

Xfce Window Themes
Running configure... done
Running make all... done
Running make install... failed

And the error log says: 

>skip<
/bin/install: writing `/tmp/xfce4-4.2RC3-installer/destdir.23599/usr/local/share/themes/Kde/xf wm4/top-right-inactive.xpm': No space left on device

make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
!! Failed to install xfwm4-themes, see the errors above
!! for details on the problem.

What does it mean? I just did a fresh install of Archlinux on my 20G Hdd. So I dont think it's because I dont have space enough!?

Thanks for your help!

type df -h and see how much free space you have. Perhaps you didn't give /tmp enough space?

How can I  give more space in my /tmp ?

Thanks.

By default /tmp is mounted as tmpfs, a ram based filesystem. To get rid of that unmount it. To make it permanent remove the mount tmpfs from /etc/fstab.

Re: Problem to install Xfce4-RC3 with the installer...

Hey murpheus, I would suggest using the pkgbuild's neri put together sometime ago in this thread.  I tried the installer for beta 2 a long time ago, but that was just for testing.  Using their installer will only kludge up your system and make things messy when Arch puts out the final 4.2 release.

I'm running 4.2-rc3 right now.  I used my own pkgbuild's before neri put out his, but check that whole thread (maybe going back to page 1) for instructions on installing his.
