I am trying to install Process Server on an AIX machine. The installation is failing with an error message saying that /tmp doesn't have enough work space.
And yes, the /tmp filesystem doesn't have the space available. I asked the Sys admin to add more space. But meanwhile anybody know any trick to make the installer use a different filesystem as the tmp directory instead of /tmp, by setting any kind of flag.

When I searched, they asked me to set an environment variable called TEMP or TMP but that was for some other products and not WPS. I tried it anyway, but it didn't work.

No, I think this directory is hard-coded into various parts of the installer...

well. There might be a switch you could give to the installer that would help...

Hrmmm. There's a hint here

Error writing file = There may not be enough temporary disk space.
Try using -is:tempdir to use a temporary directory on a partition with more disk space.

I was reasonably sure it wouldn't. But I figured it might be worth trying for you.

Hey Jeff:
Thank you very much
Infact I should have followed your advise closely
Infact that did work

Earlier I used launchpad.sh -is:tempdir and that didn't work.

Now I searched for the file called install in the installation media because the infocenter said the flag should be supplied to install script.

Under the WBI folder there is a install script and when I supplied this flag, it is installing fine. It is installing as we speak.

Thanks again.

Ah!

I didn't know that.

But it does make sense - launchpad is just that, a launcher. I wouldn't normally expect it to pass @ARGV along to child processes.

Glad it worked.
