Life is full of troubles. One never leads a smooth life.
I have a problem with my SuSE64 system. It has 256megs of Ram and plus a
120megs of swap and yet it runs out of memory when I do
the simplest install of a RPM file. It just chugs along until it finally
stops and locks everything up. I run 'free' from another console when
I do this and I see the use of memory climbs and climbs until the swap
file is full and then after a bit everything just locks up.
Is there a way to find out what is causing this. At least a place to start
would be nice. I even tried a new ' rpm.rpm' last night and couldn't
compile it. And that is not a big file to compile. So, I am left in limbo.
I must say though, that the system runs fine apart from this; in that I can
read my mail, use the browsers, download files etc.. all without any
difficulties. But I cannot do anything with the compiling..
