[comp.unix.aix] C compilation ran out of space

agw@cs.columbia.edu (Art Werschulz) (02/28/91)

Hi all.

While compiling the file input.c from the X11R4 version of xtrek, the
C compiler complained that there was insufficient space to do the
compilation, and gave up.  (Sorry I don't have the exact msg with me,
but that machine is not on the Net.)

Anybody know how to get around this?

I think it means that you don't have enough page space.

You don't say what version of the system you are running, but some of 
my colleagues have been building some code originally written for Suns
on an RS/6000, and they have had trouble with the linker eating up all 
the space.  Apparently, it doesn't free memory...

The work-around used there was to increase the paging space on the hard
disk.

Hope this helps.

Didn't somebody try to create a FAQ list for this newsgroup.  I guess I
should put the text "The AIX 3.1 linker is very different from what you
are used to and can use quite large paging space" in my signature.  (Mr.
Knight, I know you know about this, so please don't feel accused).

Somebody volunteers as a FAQ maintainer?

Yes, someone out of Stanford was originally going to do this, but he's been
busy.  At the pre-SHARE RISC System/6000 Free-for-All he mentioned it's still
in the works.
