Your / partition size is way, *WAY* too small, since it has to hold /tmp as well as /var information on it. You basically haven't got enough space to hold temporary files to do anything big. You could possible add a /var and/or /tmp partition on; or resize everything to one big / partition. Don't worry about /proc. It doesn't chew up any disk space; it's a pseudo-filesystem. Cheers.
