I am trying to compile and link a test application, which is used to test a set
of libraries being developed. The compile line is as follows:
cc -g -I. -I/usr/users/nova/include -I/usr/include/X11 -I/usr/include/Xm
-D_NO_PROTO -L/usr/users/nova/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib -o tst ts
t.o -lScall -lScObj -lScDb -ladt -lbstr -lMem -lScall -lXm -lXt -lX11 -linet
Partway into the link, I am receiving the following error:
ld fatal: fail to write symbol name background_pixmap in string table for file t
st
*** Error code 13
Error code 13 means Permission Denied. I assume the symbol table has gotten
too big, like beyond the User-filesize limit. How do I change this limit to
accomodate me? I tried compiling as root, and got the same result. What is
the solution?
System is ISC 2.0.2, dev system is ISC 2.0.
P.S. The file system being used has ~5MB free.

(support@ism.isc.com) I mailed this same message yesterday and got the answer today. The answer is to increase the ulimit (which I suspected) Do this in /etc/default/login. The ULIMIT=4096 line is now changed to ULIMIT=4096000 and it works fine. I also got an acknowledgement of receipt of the other message, regarding the compiler bug. I expect a reply soon. kudos. Thanks guys. === -- David Van Beveren INTERNET: emisle!dvb@ism.isc.com EIS ltd. Professional Software Services UUCP: ..uunet!emisle!dvb voice: (818) 587-1247

However, you can only believe errno when you have the source and see that the errno is being correctly reported. The correct errno for attempting to write a file beyond the ulimit is EFBIG or 27. >too big, like beyond the User-filesize limit. How do I change this limit to >accomodate me?

Quick solution: login as root, ulimit 99999, and then compile Correct solution: Read the FAQ for this group (question 12) -- Conor P.
