Looks like you've run out of disk space. Assuming you've got /tmp under /, do a df / and du /tmp, check the output and if the partition is full, free up spme space.

So, have you checked if you have any space on /tmp? Some processes may have been zombified in the past and taken up space on /tmp. You can delete any files that they may have created.
