[TUHS] Having dickens of a time compiling gcc-4.4.7 on tru64 .

[babydr DBA James W. Laferriere]

 	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
