12M of memory is an awful small amount. I'm actually surprised you were able to boot an initrd with that little.
You did notice that I had given the -m switch to free, jah?

Available memory seems to fluctuate greatly. Presently I am seeing available:

And 12 GB of RAM in a 32-bit system is extraordinary... > uname -a Linux icpu2799 2.6.28.8-20120713a-iscsi-ntacker-3ware-sec8-fmon-igb-dif2-grsec #1 SMP Fri Jul 13 13:37:07 CEST 2012 i686 GNU/Linux I just tried building the latest ImageMagick in the 6.6.x series: ImageMagick-6.6.9-10. This was the version series that came with the Debian distro the server is based on. It blew up as follows:
CC wand/wand_libMagickWand_la-import.lo CC wand/wand_libMagickWand_la-magick-image.lo CC wand/wand_libMagickWand_la-magick-property.lo CC wand/wand_libMagickWand_la-magick-wand.lo CC wand/wand_libMagickWand_la-mogrify.lo cc1: out of memory allocating 408 bytes after a total of 60648620 bytes make[1]: *** [wand/wand_libMagickWand_la-mogrify.lo] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/homepages/35/d157794216/htdocs/download/ImageMagick-6.6.9-10' make: *** [all] Error 2
In my mind, that allocated memory should come out to just under 58MB. Even well within the 407MB when I checked free just now. Something is not adding up... Suggestions? Sincerely, -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/
