4.6.14 Message Appears During Installation: /tmp does not have enough disk space

Symptom: The following message appears during installation: 
/tmp does not have enough disk space

Cause: The Installer ran out of disk space in /tmp and tried to use /home/user instead, which had less disk space than required.

Resolution: At the Linux prompt, set the environment variable IATEMPDIR to a disk location that has sufficient disk space:

  • For Borne Shell (sh), Korn Shell (ksh), bash, and zsh users:

    % IATEMPDIR=/your/free/space/directory

    % export IATEMPDIR

  • For C-shell (csh) and tcsh users:

    setenv IATEMPDIR= /your/free/space directory
