Hi,
I'm currently trying to compile the latest version of Bacula using the
src rpm on RHEL. I downloaded the bacula-1.38.11-3.src.rpm package,
rpm -ivh'ed it and then entered /usr/src/redhat/SPECS (I have
installed the latest version of PostgreSQL - 8.1.4 - as well as it's
devel libraries). I then run the following command:
rpmbuild -ba --define "build_rhel4 1" --define "build_postgresql 1"
bacula.spec
It starts compiling and successfully completes the documentation part as
well as the rescue part. But then, things take a turn. I then notice
the compilation using up more than 1 GB worth of RAM and then starting
to use up my swap space (another 1 GB).
I'm suspicious because there are tons of compilation processes when I
run something like. Here's an example of output of ps -auxwww:

./config.status
root 12549 0.0 0.0 2812 956 pts/0 S+ 21:26 0:00 /bin/sh
./config.status
The compilation itself outputs:
...

...
and keeps increasing (notice that it's at 2089) until the machine runs
out of RAM and swap. It then starts killing processes and fails.
Any ideas? Is this a bug? Has anyone successfully compiled the latest
version using the src rpm? Thanks for your help.
PS. It's not a question of running out of hard disk space since I have
about 150 - 200 MB left at the point at which it runs out of RAM and
swap.
