I've encountered a problem on our HP9000 series 800 computers. If I'm trying to link the sources of a program using Xlib and Xm (Motif), I got the following message: ld: Out of memory. Our system is configured with 16M memory. The problem seems to be dependent on the system load at the time I'm trying to link the program. Has anyone a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance.

You might be able to determine whether or not this is the problem out by running a performance monitor tool, such as monitor(1M), in the foreground while your ld job is running in the background. How much swap space do you have configured on your file system? Daryl Odnert daryl@hpcllla.cup.hp.com HP California Language Lab

Yup. If you are not in a position to increase swap space, try specifying the "-T" option to the linker (from the "cc" driver, specify the option "-Wl,-T"), which tells the linker to keep its intermediate structures in temp files rather than memory. See the ld(1) man page for details (under the 800 dependencies section). ----- Shankar Unni E-Mail: Hewlett-Packard California Language Lab.
