I have 512MB RAM and it wasn't enough, even with --with_low_memory. I've done the same for FreeBSD 4.1,4.4 and Solaris 7. READ THE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Permissions on the "data" directory will get you every time. Also, watch for the PID's being written to tmp directories that don't exist. You'll get by it. "Denis J.
