     pspp: writing to temporary file: No space left on device
      
     
     I'm not sure where its' writing the temporary file and how to get it to
     work.
     
      
     Is there a configuration setting I can change/add ?

With the latest version, the tempfile location can't be changed, but this
will be fixed soon.  See my reply to James.


However for such a large dataset I would suggest using the AGGREGRATE function 
instead of FREQUENCIES.  It achieves very much the same thing but more 
efficiently.
