Program design in C

I tried to compile my program and was un able to do so because this error posted at the end, as pasted below: Sentence in parentheses is the problem.
<math.h> is the library I was working in for my homework and somewhere I really messed up. This sentence shows up on all of my files associated with my homework if I were to try to compile them.

triton% gcc testray.c -lm
cc1: (No space left on device: error closing /var/tmp//ccqni3N3.s)

Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Bob

What does your thread title have to do with the question?

How much free disk space do you have left? GCC is complaining that it cannot save a temporary file due to lack of space.

Try df -h to see how much disk space is free on whatever partition /var/tmp is located on. You may have lots of free disk space, but have /var/tmp completely stuffed if it's on a different partition. If it is full, delete something from it, resize the partition (difficult), or use a different temp directory; I'm sure GCC lets you choose the temporary directory for it to use.

Or lack of permissions.

Only if the system is so broken that it returns ENOSPC/EFBIG instead of EROFS/EACCES from open() and friends.
