Greetings; Trying, so far unsuccessfully, to build kde 3.3 with konstruct. I got past the ogg stuff, thanks to Tami, but now its making something in the general area of libsmoke, and cc1plus is going absolutely berzerkers, eating memory at about 1 meg every 2 seconds. This forces me into the swap about 2 minutes after I restart the make, and in 30 minutes its into swap over 500 megs and unusable, as in the x corner clock stops, and it may take 10 minutes for a ctl-alt-backspace to be recognized. Stopping x, and doing a 'swapoff -a;swapon -a' pretty much cleans the system up, but even without x running, doing the make in konstruct starts grabbing sawp in about 2 minutes, with top showing cc1plus as using >40%, and it has shown as much as 87%, of a half gig of ram system. Has anyone else seen this effect? BTW, kernel is 2.6.8.1-mm4, compiled for himem (4Gig) support but running on just one stick of ram as I think one of them is flaky & I'm trying to figure out which one. I'll rebuild it without that just for grins, but somehow that shoe doesn't fit IMO. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
