I am trying to install Qt on Debian

How ? From the Debian repository with APT ?

3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u2

This is the kernel version, not the Debian version.
The Debian version is in /etc/debian_version.

and I get a message that there is not enough disk space to
store temporary files. It needs 580+ meg and only has 300+ meg.

After searching here and there I tried entering the command

     sudo mount -o remount,size=1G tmpfs /tmp

which is supposed to increase the size temporarily and
"on-the-fly" but I still get the same error message.

If you are downloading and installing Debian packages with apt-get or the like, you need enough space in /var/cache to store the *.deb archives, and enough space into the destination filesystems to store their deflated contents. For instance if a package set installs 100 MB of files in /usr then you need at least 100 MB of free space in /usr to install or upgrade the packages.

Anyway, I just noticed that tmp is in a VG that is very small.

Do you need a LV (logical volume ?)
Isn't the point of LVM that it makes resizing easier ?
