If you do not have enough space in the /tmp directory, you can temporarily create a tmp directory in another filesystem. Here is how you can do this:

# su - root
# mkdir //tmp
# chown root.root //tmp
# chmod 1777 //tmp
# export TEMP=/ # used by Oracle
# export TMPDIR=/ # used by Linux programs like the linker "ld"

When you are done with your Oracle installation, shutdown Oracle and remove the temporary directory:

# su - root
# rmdir //tmp
# unset TEMP
# unset TMPDIR
