Errors with installing catalyst 13.251 with yaourt

Question

First week with Arch, second with LinuxOSs in general. Hi.
I'm following this guide to installing the catalyst drivers for Arch (http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=4630) and I've encountered an error that is preventing me from proceeding that I'd like help finding a solution for.
Using the command "yaourt catalyst-test," I follow the guide where it says to select no when asked if I want to edit PKGBUILD and edit *.install. Everything goes error-less until it says:
==> Starting package()...
install: error writing '/tmp/yaort-tmp-root/aur-catalyst-test/pkg/catalyst-test/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so' : No space left on device
install: failed to extend '/tmp/yaort-tmp-root/aur-catalyst-test/pkg/catalyst-test/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so' : No space left on device
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package(),
       Aborting...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build catalyst-test.
==> Restart building catayst-test ? [y/N]
==> ---------------------------------------------------
==>
I ran df -h to check to see if anything was full, and I got this:
/dev/sda1           30G     1.2G     27G       5%   /
dev                  801M          0   801M       0%   /dev
run                  804M     436K   804M      1%   /run
tmpfs               804M          0   804M       0%   /dev/shm
tmpfs               804M          0   804M       0%   /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs               804M    804M    4.0K    100%   /tmp
/dev/sda3          197G     60M   187G        1%   /home
I've got a 3GB Swap and 2GB of ram, as well.
I looked this up, and I've seen that lots of people have tmpfs with around 3GB. I don't know how they did that and I can't find how they did it and follow properly.
If any other information is needed, I can give that. Hopefully it's not something too long, because I can't copy and paste.

I am learning to do that right now.

Doing that.[excuse] Reading disability makes it hard to read stuff in the formats most wikis are in, so i try to avoid them unless it's necessary (guiltily). Doing my best, though. [/excuse]

You're using ArchLinux, not ArchBang, right? Because, if you're using ArchLinux, then you shouldn't be using ArchBang tutorials; and if you're using ArchBang, then you shouldn't be asking here.
Please, for the love of all that is holy, use code tags to post terminal output.
All the best,

I was using it because it describes the way I would install it using pacman. I am definitely using ArchLinux (don't even have a GUI yet). The guide seems universal enough.
SORRY GUYS I FORGOT ABOUT THAT
Won't happen again.
