Hello Arno , Arrigo & Kenneth ,
Arno Hit it on the head with the ulimit . After I had sent the missive
I again went looking for the original url that had successfully complied tthis
version of GCC & founfd it , & of course the one item missing from the other
copies is the 'ulimit -d unlimited' & checking to what it was set too .
Arrigo mentioned a known difficulty with paging on Tru64 systems ,
Which I had set as he suggested , tho still had the same out of memory .
Kenneth , I had gone thru the install putting on the LAST Known patch
to Tru64 before I started even setting up , But I am still not complete sure if
there might be another newer one floating out there somewhere .
THANK YOU All for your responses !-) I (after the above) started
another build & this time had it dumping all output (2>&1) to a file , This AM
(here in AK) , I did a grep for the offending file & low and behold it compiled
error free & is approriately archived . Now I have to await (Hopefully) for the
completion of the CC portion & THEN The C++ which according to WILL take a
considerable amount of time to complete , IF it does .

Thank You All agn , JimL

It Seems the OS doesn't know how to access
the swap properly .
Wild guess incoming...
My active experience on HP stuff ends with HP9000's and HPUX, but could
it be an ulimit settings perhaps?
The article doesn't seem to set anything to 'unlim' or similar.
Older UNIX versions tend to limit process sizes, open files and such
and especially compiling GCC and the like tends to munch address space...
So it may 'want' to page out, but is limited by the max process size
and can't malloc anymore.
Bye, Arno.
