Hey people,

Not sure if it's the right list for this, but kdebase2 fails to build on 
current due to a dependancy app that won't compile. The port in question is
qt2-designer-kde and it fails here:

c++  -c -I/home/netbsd/pkgsrc/x11/qt2-designer-kde/work/.buildlink/qt2/include -
I/home/netbsd/pkgsrc/x11/qt2-designer-kde/work/.buildlink/include -I/home/netbsd
/pkgsrc/x11/qt2-designer-kde/work/.buildlink/include -O2 -I/usr/pkg/share/x11-li
nks/include -DDESIGNER -DHAVE_KDE -I../shared -I../util -I/home/netbsd/pkgsrc/x1
1/qt2-designer-kde/work/.buildlink/include -o mainwindow.o mainwindow.cpp
mainwindow.cpp: In method `void MainWindow::writeConfig()':
mainwindow.cpp:2696: virtual memory exhausted
gmake[5]: *** [mainwindow.o] Error 1

I tried adding more swap (in a swap file) until I had more than 500 MB (which
is actually MORE than enough, since my sparcstation 10 only has 96 MB)

What could be the problem here? And more importantly: how do I solve it?
