Well, it turns out it *was* my system. Seems like 2Gb of RAM + 2Gb of swap is just not enough. I ran the compile again, and this time got a slightly different error, about being unable to allocate swap. After adding another 4Gb of swap, the compile completed successfully. -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/~paulcol Asking for technical help in newsgroups?
