You must configure some swap on it or it will die. If the only storage you have is via nfs, then you can get round NFS's swappy lameness using: dd if=/dev/zero of=$(nfs-filesystem)/swapfs.img bs=1M count=128 mkfs -t ext2 $(nfs-filesystem)/swapfs.img mkdir swapfs mount $(nfs-filesystem)/swapfs.img swapfs -o loop dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfs/swapfile bs=1M # dies when the volume fills mkswap swapfs/swapfile swapon !$ It's a warty hack but will make the build complete > That said, I wonder whether the current duplication of efforts is any good. Yeah. like running to the finishing line. I hate it. > you've got a second > stage compiler built already? I built alex, happy and haddock using a stage1 compiler cos I thought that way we'd get there sooner, but the full debian build of ghc died after three days :-/ saying something about profiling libraries not found. So build the stage 2 (ie full libraries) and install before trying the full debian build. That's what's grinding chez moi at the moment. Go for it. You have faster hardware than me, and maybe your build will finish before mine. What matters is having this stuff working, not who gets there first...
