Description corridor 2007-06-23 04:28:25 UTC
Apparently the install is unable to do so on a linux install where the root partition is bare-bones. Even while
directing the installation to put the software on a more than sufficient partition, df -k appears to be polling in the
debug and the install app throws up an error saying the partition is too small. My /var is another sufficient partition,
as is /opt, where I would like to install. The temp directory is large enough too.

corridor,

please run installer in the verbose mode
./<installer.sh> --verbose --output output.log
and attach output.log file

Actually the installer requires some amount of free space in /tmp directory and some amount in the user`s home 
directory. You can specify different temp directory using --tempdir installer argument.
what does "df -h $HOME" says?
what does "df -h /tmp" says?
what build are you running? is it the one from the latest nighly builds or m9 build?
Comment 2 corridor 2007-07-06 04:33:50 UTC
Attached output.txt. Note that I had previously set the temp dir to /var/tmp, a partition with adequate space, and was
running from a user other than root, putting the home dir in /data/users - also w/ sufficient space.

This is the m9 build. Have not had the opportunity to retry w/ m10, but I can try tomorrow and report back.

corridor,

first of all, thanks for the information and cooperation.

According to your df output I agree with you that there is a plenty of disk space.
Because of the issue 103479 the free space verification was done using erroneous path (/ instead of $HOME) in M9.
In M10 it was fixed so I close this issue as the duplicate of 103479.
Please give a try to M10 and let us know the results. If it is still reproducible, then, please reopen this issue and 
attach the corresponding output.log, otherwise, please, verify.

Thanks a lot for you help,
Dmitry

I confirmed that m10 resolves this issue. Thanks for the support - I now have a linux, windows and macos install of the
application and they are all behaving.
