It seems that the safest thing to do is to uninstall the older version of Mathematica. If I do this, I will recover 3 GB. That helps, but unfortunately, that is not much, and I would like to preserve the old version... Probably the best thing to do would be to set a larger partition for root when I installed opensuse. Is there a safe and easy way to enlarge the root partition?
From what I saw, there are two possible solutions for you if you do not want to remove stuff:
1) If you have still a free partion (or enough spsace on the disc to create one), mount /usr/local to that new partition. To get your data from current /usr/local to it, you would need to mount the new partition as something else (e.g. as /mnt/tmp) , move everything to it, umount /mnt/tmp and remount the partition then as /usr/local. That would be the best way. Maybe you could get the new partition by resizing /home, which has 800GB if I remember correct. 2) If you have no free partition, a dirty trick would be to mv /usr/local to /home/local and make /usr/local a link to /home/local. But that is dirty.
