I am having a problem with OOo says there not enough room in /tmp. the other threads I searched talked about changing partitions. Is there a way to make ./setup install to another directory other then /tmp. Or do I have to change the partitions. I really do not want to do this at the moment.
Any suggestions
Cheers
According to: http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/setup-linux.html you can choose where to extract the files, /tmp or any other directory you want (/tmp is just an example).
I don't have the installation now but if you can't solve it i'll download it and see if i can help.
Thanks bgonvehi for the responce,however when you ./setup it uses the /tmp folder be default before the installation starts. thats were i have the trouble.
cheers
Cedrik solutions seems nice, but be carefull try to not have programs running that are using the tmp files.
Well setup doesn't have a option to change the temporary dir. However, i tried running the file install and it installed the program in multi user mode (the best choice because it shares the main files between users ) and only saw a temp file created.
None, just run: ./install instead of ./setup (the aren't command line options to change the temp directory, there are for other things but not for that).
