[SOLVED] fatel: write error: No space left on device49?

Hiya, I know a few things about Linux, by now, but some simple things still confuse me. I want to install ufo alien invasion development version. However when after I uninstalled the official one and even beforehand, I get this same message

I checked the space I have on my partitions and I can't see why it says there is not enough

15:02:16^user▓▒░$df -m

tmpfs                578     1       578   1% /run/user/1000

It is quite a big install. Last time I checked it was at 40% done and the next it fails. I'm curious why it's doing this. pasting the message doesn't yield any results, not relevant to me anyway. I'm assuming I've not done something correctly with my setup or something. I thought It might be the cache but the actual package is only 7m.. I don't believe it's my /var but I also have plenty of room on / and /home or wherever else it might install it. My swap is also 7g, in case that info is useful :-/

Thanks for reading and I hope someone here can give me some direct :-)

Re: [SOLVED] fatel: write error: No space left on device49?

Please enclose your output in [ code ] tags - it's easier to read.

Also, you've got a tmpfs in /tmp, which probably ran out of space. I guess that if you use makepkg directly (and somewhere else than /tmp), you shouldn't encounter this issue.

Don't build in /tmp, see what happens.

I will try to do things in tag in the future. I never used any forum features, before 0:-)
A /tmp partition was never made when I built the system. I didn't know it would build one anyway.
I used to assume it would just be a directory in root.

Thanks for for your help :-)

There is no additional partition, but a tmpfs that is mounted under /tmp. Since it resides in memory, you haven't got unlimited space to put files in there (and usually it is limited to some maximum occupiable space anyway).
