Hello world,

This is my first post to this group, I hope this is the right
place to ask a question! I get virtual memory exhausted when running
gcc on large files 3000 lines of c++ code. I have tried the obvious
reducing the number of active process, increasing the swap space....

Has any body seen this before if so, do they have any advice?

The gory details!

I was using every thing from the 2.1 distribution cd.

Thanks Tom
