Hello, all,
Thanks for more responses after first SUMMARY. The second problem is
solved by taking Richard Butler's suggestion. Thanks!

RESPONSE:

I think your problem here is not space in /usr/local but space in
/var/tmp
(used as spooling space during pkgadd). I can't remember the details,
but
I am sure I read in a previous sun-managers question something about
problems installing when the /var filesystem is not sufficient. I think
you can resolve it temporarily in the same way make a link to a large
space, install emacs, then cancel the link because the space is only
needed during installation.

Worth trying anyway

Delete the man pages. /usr/share/man/*

You could move /usr/dt to /dt on a new partition and create a link from
/usr/dt
to /dt. You can do that with other things to like /local.
