This error shows up when compiling a map, output by the CSG compiler. In 99.9% of cases this means you have "too many WADs"* listed in your editor:

In Hammer, in Options > Textures
In JACK, in Options > Game Configurations > Textures

Solutions:

A - use less WADs by consolidating used textures from a scattering of third-party WADs into a single WAD file

B - put the WADs in a shorter absolute path. Instead of them being in e.g.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life\my_mod\my_textures.wad

put them in e.g.

D:\wads\my_textures.wad

* The issue is not really with how many WADs you loaded but with the total path length for all the WADs exceeding a limit.
