Hi, When I follow the instructions to build the p6 compiler the make runs forever. $ make ... rakudo/parrot_install/bin/parrot src/gen/perl6.pbc --target=pir \ src/gen/core.pm > src/gen/core.pir This command never ends. It runs for 48 hours or more and then my laptop overheats and shuts down. I'm trying to build rel#27 on Ubuntu, with gcc4.4.1, libicu4.0.1 on my laptop having 512MB ram+750MB swap. The build seems to encounter a lot of memory thrashing. Please let me know what is missing. This problem of thrashing seems to have started since rel#25. -- Karthik
