Space used by files that are opened by one program and then deleted by
another program is not freed up until that second program closes the
file. So you may have to kill some daemons.

Try to do a 'du -x /' just to make sure that you don't have much stuff
on your / partition. You should move /tmp over to /usr/tmp and symlink
it back.
