1st of all. /proc is supposed to be at 100%. It is not a real filesystem, it is just a representation of the currently running processes, layed out like a file system. More likely than not you are out of space on your root partition (/). And more to the point, /tmp. The best thing to do is to move /tmp to a partition that has more space available on it, such as /usr. The way to do this is to type the following: rm -rf /tmp mkdir /usr/tmp ln -s /usr/tmp /tmp If this doesn't resolve your problem, reply to the list with the exact error message you are receiving and with the output of df -k.
