Installing very large program (not enough space in root partiton)

Hello,
I want to install the xilinx webkit which is about 10G in download size only. I have not enough space on my root partition and would like to install this on my /home partition. Is this possible?
Thanks

Well that should use symlinks, like Android.

Oracle 10g DBCA error - not enough space on root?

Im running Oracle 10g on HP-UX 11i.
Oracle software is installed ok. Already created a database succesfully. I have now deleted that database and am creating a new one using dbca.
When I get to the final step I get the following error:
You do not have enough free disk space to create the database. You need at least 785,408KB on /, you only have 753,664KB available please allocate more free disk space.
The above is true but I am not putting any datafiles/ redo logs etc on root they are on a separte logical volume. Why does it need all this space on root? I cant add any more space to root anyway as I cant unmount root and extend it.
Cant find anything about this in the oracle documentation, I can only think my oracle software install has got messed up causing this strange error?
Can anyone help? Thanks.

When you create database with DBCA, it gives a few options like General purpose, OLTP, etc.
Did you pick same options both the time?

Midtier Install error: dcmctl createInitialBackup - Not enough space

Had this puzzling error during installation of Midtier with 10g during 'DCM Repository Backup Assistant' configuration.
It turned out /tmp was not big enough - it went from 953 MB at the beginning of the Midtier installation down to 46MB by this last step!! Since /tmp comes out of swap/free memory under Solaris 9 (and since at least 2.6), it must have been used up by the install process itself. Once I dynamically added more swap space (for usage by /tmp) of 1 GB, the re-try worked!
Hoping this helps anyone else with such a weird error (and hoping Oracle will look into making the Universal Installer more careful about dealing with this situation in Solaris at least).

It is time to do a major housecleaning. I'd archive a ton of "stuff," and also remove any unused programs. Once done, defrag your C:\, if you have room to do so. You can use the Windows defrag utility, or a program like Diskeeper.
Now, if you ONLY have a C:\, and one that is full, you will have issues with Scratch Disk space. If that is the case, you will want to add at least one more HDD. These are cheap today, and one can add a couple of 1TB ATA-300's for less than US$200. Actually, one can add two 1.5TB ATA-300's for under that price!
I agree completely with Curt, that one should never fill a HDD beyond about 75%. Trouble can ensue.
Good luck,

Can't install Photoshop because of "not enough space" error

When I try to install Photoshop CS4 it tells me that my chosen path does not have the sufficient amount of space available when it clearly does (4.2gb compared to the 1.2gb needed).
Does anybody know why or how to fix this issue ?
thanks

Unable to install because not enough space to extra on C-Drive... But I don't want it to extract there.

Hi,
Apparently I'm Unable to install Photoshop CC because not enough space to extra on C-Drive... But I don't want it to extract there. I've already gone into "Preferences" and switched both folder locations (CC Files and App Files) into my D Drive which has plenty of space, but I get an error that there is not enough space on the C Drive. Duh, I know that, which is why I want to install it on another drive.
What are some steps I can take to fix this?

Time Machine - "not enough space to back up" despite large drive

Hi,
I have a 2.7GHz Quad-Core 27" iMac from July 2011. It has a 2TB HD which I back up to an external single partition 2TB HD (WD MyBook) over Time Machine (TM). The iMac HD has about 1.4TB on it.
It was "just working" until about 2 weeks ago, when I got a message that says in essence "not enough space to back up: only 600GB available when 1.4GB is needed". There is one succesful 1.4TB backup. I get the error message hourly as it attempts to back up then fails. Previously there were multiple time stamped (houry, daily etc) backups but when I first got the error message, there was only one left, implying that TM deleted the earlier ones in its quest for more space.
As there is a 2TB drive to back up 1.4TB, there should be loads of space as each backup should just log the changes, not the whole drive.
However, TM is acting as if it needs the full 1.4GB free for each delta backup, rather than just space for the changes. This is new behaviour as it did not need this before.
I have googled the issue extensively, checked FAQs etc and found two potential causes.
The first is that I changed the name of my computer around the time that the problem appeared. This can apparently cause TM to not recognise old backups. I therefore deleted the old one and rebuilt my backup from scratch, hoping that the new name would be used. I was able to do one backup before the same issue appeared again.
The second is that the sparsebundle needs to be resized manually due to a bug, but I can't find the sparse bundle on the external HD, even using Disk Utility (this maty be because I am being very stupid - I am a recent Mac user and do not have much experience of digging into OS X's innards)
I am now at a loss as to what to do.
I would be very grateful indeed if anyone had any thoughts that they could share.

It's trying to do a near-full backup for some reason, and it's already deleted all but the last remaining backup trying to make room. It was probably trying to back up about 1.2 TB, since it adds 20% to the estimated size. That's likely your entire home folder.
The first is that I changed the name of my computer around the time that the problem appeared.
No, that shouldn't cause it. Apparently on some of the very first versions of Leoaprd, it did, but not since.
The second is that the sparsebundle needs to be resized manually due to a bug,
No, there isn't a sparsebundle on backups made to an internal or directly-connected HD. Those are used only for network backups.
What else did you do around the same time you changed your computer name? See #D4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for common causes.
I'd recommend turning TM off, erasing the drive and doing a "full reset" per #A4 in that same link. Then exclude most of the large folders in your home folder, per #10 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. Then run a backup, and immediately run another.
If the second backup is more than a GB, use one of the apps in #A2 of Troubleshooting to see exactly what got backed-up the second time. That may tell us what's going on.
If it wasn't large, start removing the exclusions, one at a time. Run a backup (that should back up the excluded item(s), then run another and see how large it is. That should pinpoint the problem.

I have 'not enough space' cursed Pages; even though I have plenty of room it refuses to let me download and install it.

Common problem, except all trouble shooting leads to the suicide of the question asker because it yields only claims that no matter what you say, you need to make MORE space. It's a 30 meg file, I have 500 meg free. I have deleted and redownloaded and rebooted about thirty times, in various combinations.
Previously I have cursed many apps this way, always free apps, so I just accepted they were 'dead' to my phone, even after iOS updates and ever since the iPhone 3 this problem has existed (ie: if you didn't have enough space when you START downloading the first time, kiss that app goodbye for life, it just WILL NOT download EVER.) and will either sit at 'Waiting' for a while then claim there's not enough space, or just sit at 'Waiting' indefinitely and progress no further.
The only thing I haven't tried is formatting the entire thing as a fresh phone and retrying, but that's pretty extreme. Has Apple acknowledged this bugs existance yet? Every support thread I see gets replies of "Make more space." no matter what the asker states and eventually the guy just stops coming back and asking, so they're all pretty much unresolved.
Just for the record, I have extensive experience with technology, and am not mentally disabled, so please feel free to talk to me at the level at which your inner voice talks to you, I assure you I will get it. So, can has halp plz? 8(
(PS: I cannot update to the lates iOS 7 as I do not have the insane size required for it to decompress and install, etc, and to do so would require deleting things I cannot lose or having to back it all up manually because there's no convenient way to do it otherwise. Although I can assure you that this problem has been present since the iPhone 3 first came out which was my first iPhone and has been present in every iOS update since, so I have no reason to believe out of the dozens of updates that iOS 7 has addressed this.)

When you don't have enough storage to perform an operation, then you don't have enough storage. have you got the 16GB iphone?

Not enough space error on ipad since installing itunes 11

hi
i installed the new version of iTunes (V11) tonight but since then have been unable to sync new video files to my ipad.
The ipad has 8.61 GB free and I'm trying to add 8 x 235mb files to the device but each time it gets to Step 5 (determining tracks to sync) and freezes for a while before I get the error message that it cannot be synched as there's not enough space on the device to hold all the items in the itunes library which requires another 14.59 GB.
I've not got any music on the ipad and the status bar on the summary screen is telling me I've loads of free space. Could this related to the new itunes installed today?
thanks

Computers will read a 2GB iPod Nano as having approximately 1.8 GB. (This is because hard drive manufacturers measure gigabytes in a decimal system, and computer OS's, Mac and Windows alike, read gigabytes in a binary system). You'll want to make sure your playlist is definitely smaller than this. If it is, and you still think you're having a problem, you can try restoring the iPod:

You need to discard or save to an external disk and then discard some of the stuff we all tend to keep forever (movies, music, pictures, docs, apps no longer used, etc.). A clogged up disk also does not function ideally either.

Tried installing Lion from the app store on my Core 2 Duo iMac 2.4/1GB/250GB. Message says there is not enough space even though I have over 90gb on the hard drive. I repaired permissions, ran software update to make sure I was on the latest version of Snow Leapard...what gives? Any ideas?

Trying to install ios on iPhone 4 but not enough space on c: drive on XP PC?

but itunes tells me i`ve not enough space on c:drive on XP PC? can I move the cache file/temp file to another drive where it has more free space??
If it only gave me the option where to back it up to and download the software to, I could point it to somewhere with loads of free gigs. ARGH can anyone help?

I would recommend deleting contents off your hard-drive to make space (how much is left..you should be having 15% free as a general practice) and backing up the phone prior to upgrading.

Visual C++ Runtime Error R6016 not enough space for thread data

I get these errors on startup of my Windows 8.1 (with all latest updates installed) after login.
1. It would be helpful if the error message actually identified the exe or dll causing the problem.

Is not a very helpful clue to the source of the error and because of its brevity comes across as being contemptuous of the user.

2. From the active apps Desktop toolbar it appears that this problem may be associated with

3. I suspect that the problem announced by this error might also be contributing to the the fact that my Chrome browser now appears to be overlaid with a pink matt variation on its entire colour scheme. I have reported the pink matt error directly to Google

Otherwise, please test the issue in Safe mode and let me know the results, then provide the screenshot of the error.
