You should be able to get around your temp space issue by using the TEMP = environment variable. I was having the not enough tamp space problem and = that is how I got around it on TRU64. Have your SA make you a temp dir = on a volume with enough space, also chmod 777 on the directory. Then in = your environment set the TEMP to the directory. I.E for ksh = TEMP=3D/ubigdisk/temp ; export TEMP; Hope this helps on the install issue.

Do you have sufficient amount of processes available on the box (NPROC = parameter in SAM)? Swap can be added, and as far as I can remeber, HP-UX has = mkswap command that will create a swap file of certain size. It's very hard to help you = out without actually seeing the messages. Can you execute "dmesg" and post = the result?
