Comment 1 Peter Jensen 2004-06-17 07:24:28 UTC

Not actually a bug, but this package requires a *lot* of RAM/swap during compile.
In /var/log/messages you'll probably find a line that says something like this:

kernel: VM: killing process cc1plus

One solution could be to change MAKEOPTS to -j1, so only one compile process is active at any one time.
That may not be enough, though, so you might want to add some temporary swap.
Try this:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/tmpswap bs=1M count=1k
mkswap /tmp/tmpswap
swapon /tmp/tmpswap

This will make a 1G temporary swap file, which should be enough to compile this package.
Once done, you can safely disable the swap (swapoff /tmp/tmpswap) and delete it.

Comment 2 Evert 2004-06-17 08:14:47 UTC

Amazing, and I have 1 gig internal memory!
while :; do free ; sleep 1 ; done
shows me one time
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       1033828     978468      55360          0      42956      65068
-/+ buffers/cache:     870444     163384

Looks like this time I was more lucky; didn't have to change MAKEOPTS and/or create swap...
ThanX!

Comment 3 Peter Jensen 2004-06-17 09:05:21 UTC

It did indeed cut close with that package.
Having had OpenOffice or Mozilla open might have made all the difference.
Don't expect to be as lucky with merging app-accessibility/flite, though.
I tried that yesterday, and it ate all RAM and swap, so when I saw the swap usage approach critical,I had to create some emergency swap space ...
You can mark this bug as resolved with the resolution INVALID.

Comment 4 Evert 2004-06-17 09:11:28 UTC

Well, I still had mozilla open, but maybe less pages, but that could easily have made the difference...
Didn't know I can close a bug myself ;-)
