"du -h /tmp" should give you an idea of how much space /tmp is taking.
If it's significant, you can manually clean it out (you might want to
switch to single-user mode first) or reboot, which will clean it out
automagically.
This is one of the reasons I use more than one partition; I tend to have
separate partitions for /, /tmp, /usr, /usr/local, /var, and /home. In
your case, I'd consider moving the /var or /usr or /usr/local to your
/home partition, and then symlinking it back to the original location.
Say, for example, your /var directory typically runs around 800MB in
size; you could move it, which would free 800MB off the / partition:
mv /var /home
ln -s /home/var /var
