"fatal error: error writing to /tmp/ccRku69z.s: No space left on device. compliation terminated"

I have 47MB left of memory, plus plenty of space on both of the memory cards. I tried running apt-get clean as recommended in another thread, but that didn't do much.

Any ideas?

Well, first of all, it doesn't matter how much space is on the memory cards if you are not using them.

In this case, the compiler is using /tmp as a "scratchpad". (tmp means temporary). I would guess that, somewere in the compile process, you are using up all of that 47 MB of memory.

You could try something like:

mkdir /media/mmc1/tmp
mount /media/mmc1/tmp /tmp

This would map the /tmp directory to /media/mmc1/tmp. Might be worth trying. It certainly shouldn't hurt anything.

Remember: if you reboot, the mount reverts back to the Flash.
