This is on a 32-bit machine with 512MB physical RAM and a 2GB swap file. "ulimit -v" returns 378080 (or 378MB) and setting the virtual memory higher with "ulimit -v 3780800" allows the compilation to complete. This problem also occurred in RC1. The error message is: [ 41%] Building CXX object src/alps/CMakeFiles/alps.dir/alea/observablefactory.C.o virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory make[2]: *** [src/alps/CMakeFiles/alps.dir/alea/observablefactory.C.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [src/alps/CMakeFiles/alps.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
