Hi, df showed that /tmp was not full (only 5% used), but I had another hdd mounted at /mnt which was 99% used, and unmounting that seemed to sort out the problem (god knows why).
thanks for the tip about compiling as normal user, I would usually just "sudo su" because i got sick of typing in sudo all the time, but I didn't know you could ./configure and make as normal user. :) On Sat, Sep 27, 2008 at 8:10 PM, Laurent Carlier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Le samedi 27 septembre 2008 20:49:42 Joshua Higgins, vous avez écrit : > > hello all, > > > > trying to compile gambas3 here, following instructions off website to the > > letter (running Ubuntu Hardy on 32bit).
