Errors with installing catalyst 13.251 with yaourt

First week with Arch, second with LinuxOSs in general. Hi.

I'm following this guide to installing the catalyst drivers for Arch (http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=4630) and I've encountered an error that is preventing me from proceeding that I'd like help finding a solution for.

Using the command "yaourt catalyst-test," I follow the guide where it says to select no when asked if I want to edit PKGBUILD and edit *.install. Everything goes error-less until it says:

==> Starting package()...
install: error writing '/tmp/yaort-tmp-root/aur-catalyst-test/pkg/catalyst-test/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so' : No space left on device
install: failed to extend '/tmp/yaort-tmp-root/aur-catalyst-test/pkg/catalyst-test/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so' : No space left on device
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package(),
       Aborting...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build catalyst-test.
==> Restart building catayst-test ? [y/N]
==> ---------------------------------------------------
==>

I ran df -h to check to see if anything was full, and I got this:

/dev/sda1           30G     1.2G     27G       5%   /
dev                  801M          0   801M       0%   /dev
run                  804M     436K   804M      1%   /run
tmpfs               804M          0   804M       0%   /dev/shm
tmpfs               804M          0   804M       0%   /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs               804M    804M    4.0K    100%   /tmp
/dev/sda3          197G     60M   187G        1%   /home

I've got a 3GB Swap and 2GB of ram, as well.

I looked this up, and I've seen that lots of people have tmpfs with around 3GB. I don't know how they did that and I can't find how they did it and follow properly.

If any other information is needed, I can give that. Hopefully it's not something too long, because I can't copy and paste.

Build it manually, STOP BUILDING IN /tmp!

Re: Errors with installing catalyst 13.251 with yaourt

Read the wiki about tmpfs and yaourt man page how to build somepleace else, not /tmp.

Edit: I second Scimmia's suggestion to use just makepkg, not yaourt.

When posting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

Re: Errors with installing catalyst 13.251 with yaourt

Welcome to the Arch BBS. I have two extra notes adding on to Scimmia and Karol's points:

1. You're using ArchLinux, not ArchBang, right? Because, if you're using ArchLinux, then you shouldn't be using ArchBang tutorials; and if you're using ArchBang, then you shouldn't be asking here.

2. Please, for the love of all that is holy, use code tags to post terminal output.

All the best,

-HG

I am learning to do that right now.

Read the wiki about tmpfs and yaourt man page how to build somepleace else, not /tmp.

Doing that.[excuse] Reading disability makes it hard to read stuff in the formats most wikis are in, so i try to avoid them unless it's necessary (guiltily). Doing my best, though. [/excuse]

I was using it because it describes the way I would install it using pacman. I am definitely using ArchLinux (don't even have a GUI yet). The guide seems universal enough.

SORRY GUYS I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

Won't happen again.

There's https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … wiki-docs/ and https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … wiki-docs/ , if reading a simple text format is easier.

That's really thoughtful of you. It really helps quite a bit.

Re: Errors with installing catalyst 13.251 with yaourt

Use makepkg directly, not yaourt.
