No space left on device compilation terminated

[lehe]

Hi,
I am compiling my C++ program with g++ on a server and receive out of space error:

feature_generation.cc:65: fatal error: error writing to /tmp/ccnrfgcA.s: No space left on device
compilation terminated.
feature_count.cc:76: fatal error: error writing to /tmp/cckf2zK1.s: No space left on device
compilation terminated.
...

Does it mean that the usage in /tmp is full? Is this problem for the whole server or only for my account? What can I do to free up space so that I can compile my program?
Thanks and regards!

Yes.

It might be either. Who's the sysadmin?

If you do an 'ls -l /tmp', do you see a lot of old (and large) files?
/tmp should be cleared by a cron job every day

If your .s file is that large, how big is the source file?

Here is the part of the output related to my account:

I am not the administration, who is enjoying his holidays.

Perhaps 'du' then, to see what's beneath those dirs.

Even the most recent is 2 days old - you could manually get rid of them yourself.

Thanks.
How to do that specifically?

I remember yesterday I took 5 hours to upload a 3GB iso file to my account. Is it relevent?

I didn't see any files very big as here

A lot easier. Try (as earlier suggested):
du -m /tmp

also, type df.

[Salem]

du /tmp
I guess

Then (if you're not doing anything)
rm -r /tmp/*

Or more cautiously remove everything older than a day
find /tmp -mtime +1 -exec rm {} \;

Thanks.
I have some screen session running from weeks ago that I still want to keep, so how can I remove except the screen sessions?

Try removing those 16 MB files. I can't imagine it would matter. Even if it did; rebooting would clear temp, fixing problems caused by this should there be any.
In fact; you may simply reboot the computer and retry.

That is, on most distros.
