df doesn't show swap space, it only shows information for filesystems. FreeBSD does not use (by default) an on-filesystem swap file such as MS family systems do, it uses a seperate partition as swap space. To check how your swap space is being used, you may view the output from pstat -T Be advised the to do a make world reliably, you will almost always need atleast 128MB of swap on systems with average physical memory, and atleast 256MB if your system has low physical memory. Other workarounds could be to perform the build process in single user mode, sothat no other applications are using memory, but look at swap space first.
