Hi Emanuele, thanks a lot for replying. Look, actually my machine is bare new, so I dont understand why my /tmp gets full for every small operation I do. Now I couldnt even send out an email. do you know what this problem could be? Thank you, All the best Simone Emanuele Olivetti wrote:

Hello everyone,

I am trying to install numpy on my Suse 10.2 using Python 2.5 Python is correctly installed and when I launch > python setup.py install, I get the following error:

numpy/core/src/multiarraymodule.c:7604: fatal error: error writing to /tmp/ccNImg9Q.s: No space left on devicetee: /tmp/tmpLmEe5Y: No space left on device

compilation terminated. _exec_command_posix failed (status=256)

Can anyone help me, pelase?

thanks in advance,

As the error message says, you have to free some space in the partition where /tmp is. Your disk (or partition) is full and intermediate/temporary files - needed by the installation step - cannot be created. That's why installation fails.

Cheers,

Emanuele

Looks like an installation problem. Can you give us the output of "df -h".

Hi Gael, I will ask the guy who installed the system yesterday, so that I hope he can fix it on monday without me having to re-install all the libraries I installed already Thanks a lot for the help All the best Simone Gael Varoquaux wrote:

OK, well the answer is simple, you do not have enough space on your "/" drive. 7.0G seems a lot for a linux install, but is not totally ridiculous. I would say whoever installed the box didn't allocate enough space for "/". I certainly would not put less than 10G, not because I can't run with less, but because it forces me to do more maintainance.

Workaround : resize the partitions.
