Dear Sirs Please I 'm still dealing with the installing of gcc 3.3 on my OSF1 V4.0F, finally I could see I had a problem with the Standard Header and Libraries files, I have passed successfully the configure stage, then after executing the command: gnumake bootstrap I had a bit trouble with "virtual memory exhausted" but this was documented, so, I retried to configure with the command: configure --with-gc=simple As says the documentation at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#alpha*-dec-osf* Then I executed gnumake bootstrap again, all was fine, the "virtual memory exhausted" message doesn't appear more, but after some time appeared the message: cc1plus: out of memory allocating 4899840 bytes after a total of 132990128 bytes gmake[3]: *** [verify.lo] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/objdir/alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f/libjava' gmake[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/objdir/alphaev56-dec-osf4.0f/libjava' gmake[1]: *** [all-target-libjava] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/objdir' gmake: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 Please why occurs this?????
