Re: 20041206: IDV - installation error



How much space is in /tmp on this system compared to the FC3 system?
I'm not sure what the problem is, but, I found this reference about
temp space:

http://gamma.zerog.com/devnet_l/uT.jsp?page=kb/viewKB.jsp&itemID=181
Space should not be a problem. This machine has two partitions, / and /boot. The / partition has 355 GB available. 


Try setting the IATEMPDIR environment variable to some partition
with more disk space and see if that helps.  The installer should
clean up any files that it puts into that temp directory.
I have tried changing this to a /boot/tmp install directory, in case the installer was having problems with the drive being too large it was undetectable. It still crashed on install.
I also tried changing the variable to /home/seefeldm/tmp in case there was some unknown quote or restriction on /tmp. It still crashed on install.
This afternoon I'll bring my system administrators in on the fun. Let me know if you have any other ideas before then.

From Mark, December 30, 2004:


Don,Jeff:

I have been in e-mail contact with both of you regarding my installation
problems with IDV 1.1 and 1.2a1 on my linux workstation. I have good
news and bad news. The good news is that I was able to get 1.2b1 to
install without any problems. The bad news is that I have absolutely
no idea why it worked now and not the other times. After the success
of 1.2b1 I even went back and tried 1.2a1 and 1.1 and both of those
installations now worked. Therefore it was definitely a local problem
which was either fixed through the installation of 1.2b1 or some other
random thing I've done recently.
