Hi, 

 I expect that your /tmp and swap space are to small...
 Someone in the list had a similar problem with i.fft
 and fixed it by cleaning the /tmp directory. You might
 create a bigger one on another partition. You can set
 a link
 ln -s /newpartition/tmp /tmp 
 after removing the old /tmp
 You must be "root" for that.
 But be careful, don't throw away the /tmp using XWindows,
 leave it and start a simple shell (and throw out all
 other users). And better you reboot the machine also.


 I hope this helps
