> Maybe try enabling the uClibc option to use glibc compatible malloc. I just changed "make" for 3.81beta4 as a Google on "virtual memory exhausted" showed several mentions of changes/improvements to make to try and avoid this type of error (apparently Suse and Debian patch the "fix" back into 3.80). I then kicked off Ch.6 again and it got past the kernel "make modules_install" although "top" showed that free memory dropped down to just over 50Mb free on my 1.5Gb machine (swap hardly ever seems to get used since I moved to 2.6 kernel).
I'm not sure if the new make help with the problem - I ran this Ch.6 build just from a linux console - normally I have X.Org and Gnome running so maybe it got by just because Gnome etc weren't using memory. I'll check my uClibc config tonight and retry with your suggestion... -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
