Whence those questions: 1. How can I rise the pertinent compiler limits ( which are these - and where to be found ) ? 2. Can I cause the compiler to fall back on swap instead of /var/tmp/... ( 100 MB of swap are installed ) ? (The problem does not arise with Linux ). Many thanks and Best wishes ! S.
