I must admit >that I am in multi-user mode in some cases! Your experiences are odd, as we do such compiles under FreeBSD all the time. Admittedly, I have 32 MB of memory, but I know many others with 16MB that do just fine, and with around 30-40MB of swap space, it should be more than enough for even the most crazed g++ compiles, even while running multiuser, an X server and several clients!. I suggest you check your swap size carefully - I would not be surprised to learn that you're still running with the pitiful default chosen by 386BSD 0.1's braindead install program! You should also consider upgrading to FreeBSD or NetBSD.. > How about BSD/386 (by BSDI), does it have shared lib. ? Thanks in advance! No. Jordan
