New submission from Florian Mayer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I have tried building Python3a5 today using the tarball offered on your internet site. The process './python -E setup.py build' keeps on allocating my memory using more than 80% of my RAM, I am certain that it would have used more if I had not cancelled it. When I use ltrace to track the system calls and put it into the Makefile, the resource usage still raises but much slower, if I use ltrace and supply it a PID, the memory usage raises as fast as normal. I think this is due to something in ltrace, it's understandable because it produced a file of more than 600MB.
I attached an excerpt of the output of ltrace, showing you how the system calls seem to repeat, and the output of './configure', 'make', 'uname -a', 'lspci' and 'lsmod' so you have some data about my system. I also got a screenshot showing the output of htop, make and strace together: http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/2275/screenshot1ab8.png. Maybe the output of two different programs(ltrace and strace) will help you too. I tried out building the current SVN py3k branch, resulting in a similar problem. PS: It would help if you allowed uploading of multiple files to bug reports ---------- components: Build files: output messages: 67585 nosy: segfaulthunter severity: normal status: open title: Python3a5 compile failing due to high memory usage type: compile error versions: Python 3.0 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file10488/output _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3019> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
