Keywords: virtual-memory exhaustion poop Message-ID: <137@morwyn.UUCP> Date: 27 Jun 91 01:34:54 GMT Organization: CREATIVE CONNECTIONS - Dover, NH - USA Lines: 36 I've been noticing this problem more and more recently as I attempt to compile things. And the problem is consistently saying : "Virtual Memory exhausted ..." Now, I don't understand why others with nearly the SAME configuration would NOT have this problem and I do (or is it just my luck?). My configuration is as follows: 3.51m kernel 3.51 development set 2 meg RAM 67 meg hard-disk I have recently had this problem when trying to compile the GNU fileutils programs. This is version 2.01 I am compiling... yet the previous version I had (1.14?) I had absolutely no problem. Also, this machine doesn't like to compile PERL either... so I had to snarf the executables from elsewhere. I would appreciate some insight on this problem, as well as any way(s) to resolve it (if any at all!).
