All in Net Land! Help! Have any of you out there ever been so luck as to receive the following error message from SCO Xenix make? Make: Cannot allocate memory. Stop. I am in the process of bringing up Smail3 on this Xenix box (2.1.3) and I have run into another stumbling block! I know I'll get more answers here than from SCO. I hope someone out there has seen this and has a cure but......... In case..... Has anyone out there brought up GNUMake on SCO Xenix. I have had no problems with Smail now on numerous boxes (and probably wouldn't here if my tools hadn't bit me!) and I love the new version but I need to get it running on Xenix also. Comments????????

Stop. In the Programmer's Guide I (under 'Make' :-)) there is described a facility for getting Make to tell you *exactly* what's going on by using the '-d'switch. Using this switch will have Make spew all kinds of arcane stuff back at you and leave you at the line Make is trying to execute when it bombed. I ran into a problem similar to the one you describe and it turned out to be a environment variable that was being set to too long a string. Breaking it up into two parts and inserting the pair instead of the one solved the problem. >Comments???????? (I'm open for flames!) Mild flame enclosed above... :-) >-- >Dr. J.
