Have a look at the man page for du (disk usage) especially the option to not traverse mount points - this is so that you can look exclusively at the root partition (the one that's full in your case) and not be confused with the details of the other partitions (/usr, /home, or any others that you might have). What directory/ies were you compiling in? Sometimes the MAKEFILE has a make clean option that will remove all the temporary files created during the compile - this allows you to clean up all the left over mess (object files, etc) created during the compile that are no longer needed. -- Regards | _/\_/\ Andrew Johns BSc (Comp Sci) | / \ TurnAround Solutions Pty Ltd | \_...__/ http://www.turnaround.com.au/ | \/ "The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, or better,' so I installed FreeBSD."
