I would find 16M for /tmp WAY too small. I do development, and the
compiler wants to put it's temporary files /tmp - some of them can be
fairly large. Compiling with "-pipe" in g++ fixes this, and g++ does
respect the "$TMPDIR" environment variable, but those solutions feel like
kludges around the problem. My answer was to make /tmp a soft link onto a
partition with a lot of space. (I do actually use -pipe by default, but I
have a lot of RAM and not everyone does.)
Later,
Dale
