Date: 29 Jul 1993 02:39:09 GMT Organization: University of Michigan Engineering, Ann Arbor Lines: 15 Distribution: world Message-ID: <237d8dINN68h@srvr1.engin.umich.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: statler.engin.umich.edu I am at my wit's end with this....... I have a 386+387-40, 8 megs RAM, 20 megs swap, two IDE drives. Whenever I run buildworld.sh from the 0.2.4 patch-kit, the computer locks while compiling the libc library. Sometimes while compiling a module, sometimes while formatting a man page. Nate blew this off (no offense, Nate!) as a bug with groff and not having enough memory. So my question is, what does it take, as far as memory, to make it all work? I thought a 20 meg swap would be more than enough! Also, does anyone know why swapinfo reports that 0% of my swap space is in use, especially when gcc or groff is running in the background? Thanks in advance!
