Post subject:  compiling mplayer problem
Hi,

I've just did a full install of knoppmyth on a harddrive that has 15 Gigs (I think). I wanted mplayer to play divx videos so I found the posting at:

http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... er+upgrade

Well, I've followed the instructions and was able to make and install xvidcore but when I'm making Mplayer I get a fatal error during the make/compile

FATAL: can't create ps_dec.o: No space left on device.

I've been compiling from /myth/video. When I pull a df I get the following

dev/hda1, 2201392, 1480756, 609128, 71%, /
dev/hda3, 3149652, 24, 3149628, 1%, /cache
dev/hda4, 13871248, 93104, 13778144, 1%, /myth

I'm a linux noobie but I just don't get it. What am I doing wrong? Where should I move the MPLayer folder to and recompile it?

Try df -i to see if you've run out of inodes.
Code:
root@black2:/usr/share/mythtv/mythweb# df -m
Filesystem           1M-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1                 4321      1677      2426  41% /
/dev/hda3                15382         1     15382   1% /cache
/dev/vg/myth            456197    286369    169829  63% /myth
root@black2:/usr/share/mythtv/mythweb# df -i
Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/hda1             459200   93639  365561   21% /
/dev/hda3               3872      12    3860    1% /cache
/dev/vg/myth          114080    2802  111278    3% /myth

Inodes are the index structures used to allocate space to files. The /myth partiition is generally optimized for a relatively small number of large files which means using less spcae for inodes so that it's available for file data. You've violated that assumption. (This also tends to happen to people with lots of game ROM images or music files) Stuff like this is usually built under /usr/src (/ partition) which has a more traditional balance.

Thanks for the help tjc. I was out of Inodes on hda4. I just moved the folder to /usr/src/ and compiled it and installed it and it worked fine. Thanks.
