Antwort: Re: NetBSD-1.5 : "Virtual Memory Exhausted"

Ahem, please don't call me a fool, but there's no command 'unlimit' on my 
NetBSD.
Tried to find it with 'locate unlim*'

Frank, do you talk about gcc from "GeekGadgets" ?

Greetings,

Thomas.

Ohh... so easy? I chose the more complicated way in this situation.
I compiled testimg.c with gcc under AmigaOS, then transfered the
object back to NetBSD and replaced the a.out id (which was Sun3?)
by NetBSD-68k. After that I was able to link. ;)

What is this memory limit, BTW? Can you modify it in the kernel
config file? Why is it set so low?
