How do I fix that? This is my first time to "make world," 'cause, (I wanna be real cautious about entering into a new world), and my 486DX churned away for 9.75 hours on the STABLE release ... then it stopped churning and just sat for about an hour ... (I raked the leaves in my yard while my computer did most of the work, but I checked it periodically ... then ... nothing ... for about 1 hour)... Then: BOOM! as[.c] in malloc(): warning: recursive call\n Fatal error: virtual memory exceeded Is it possible to increase my swap partition ... and would this be of any use to me in this situation? I've got about 1GIG free on /usr, so space isn't the problem (I don't think, anyway), it just seems that I don't have enough space allocated for swapping ... Oh yeah ... my trusty ol' x486 only has 8meg of mammories ... 'cause I'm also just a little too cheap to increase it ... don't hate me, ok? anyway ... thanks. lane ~An autodidact nose know discipline To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
