The / file system is generally not a big enough place (128MB should
be plenty, actually, although people are beginning to use 200MB) to
download and build software.  You should do that, as root if necessary,
in a /usr/home/<username> directory or in ports.

cd /root; du -sh tripwire to find out how big that directory is.  I'd
recommend moving it.
