[I > think that this could *not* be the reason.] I assume that's 12M of memory. /proc will always be 100%. I'm not sure what this could be. System full isn't a normal FS error. Can you send the actual output of the build? How much swap to you have, maybe you're running out of main memory/swap. > 2.

Did you install the linux libraries? (linux-lib package) try running /compat/linux/usr/sbin/ldd on the linux programs your trying to run. It will tell you if any libraries are missing. What programs are you trying to run? I have doom, acroread and Star Office running fine under linux. > I would be happy if You could answer at least one question so that I will be > able to use FreeBSD correctly. > Yours, > Stefan Veith > > -- Herbivores ate well cause their food didn't ever run. --Jonathan Fishman
