I have successfully compiled pgagent from source on a CentOS 6.2 server.
When I try to launch pgagent with the following command :
/usr/bin/pgagent -l 2 hostaddr=serveur.com dbname=postgres user=postgres
I get the following error messages :

Any idea of the source of the problem ?

You're out of disk space, or (rather unlikely) a disk access quota limit has been hit for the database user. It's also possible you've run out of inodes on the file system for some platforms and file systems. Check df.
