 |
|
Im trying to upgrade my version of gnucash and /var keeps running outa space, its a 2.9gig partition.
| Code: | root@flanders gnucash-1.8.7 # pwd
/var/tmp/portage/gnucash-1.8.7
root@flanders gnucash-1.8.7 # du -hsc *
93K build-info
1.4G image
89K temp
1.5G work
2.8G total |
Any ideas? This has happened twice now. |

| I tried to update GnuCash yesterday, it halted somewhere in the process of compiling. It's probabely the same problem, I didn't check the var partition tough |

You could try adding "-pipe" to your CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf ; that forces gcc to use pipes instead of temporary files. That might lighten the load a little but you'll still need some space in /var/tmp/ Since I don't know gnucash so I wouldn't be able to tell you how much exactly it needs. Of course if you already have -pipe in there, that won't do you any good.
You could also try to mount a bigger partition on /var or even create a temporary directory on a partition that does have enough space and mount it on /var using "mount --bind /some/dir /var".
Other than that: get a bigger HD/partition

| GNUCash isn't that big! (Around 9 MBytes). I compiled OpenOffice.org on the same machine without problems! I think it's more a bug somewhere in the ebuild/code/gcc/... |

| Yeah...my /var partition is 2.9gigs, and gnucash is taking up ALL of it pretty much. That can not be normal. |

That's pretty wierd. I emerged gnucash 1.8.7 some time ago and I didn't have this kind of problem.

Anyone have any suggestions at all! This is what's on the screen when /var starts filling up:
| Code: | 8.3/guide'
