Dear All,
I am currently trying to build the latest 1.2 on my system and I have hit a
snag that is to do with the system I already have running, the one I am
trying to carry out the build on. This is a current of several months ago.
Whilst running make build, make complained a couple of times of not being
able to allocate memory. Then when I got to the man pages in libc groff
started to blow out with segmentation errors on anything but the smallest
input files.
I rebuilt groff and reinstalled it, same result. I then started scratching
around and if I did a ps -aux I found that the %mem collumn was all set to
0.0 which seems really rather wrong.
At present I am building a generic kernel to make sure that I havn't
inadvertantly broken anything.
The system passes its internal diags ok so I am out of ideas until
the kernel finishes. Has anybody got anything to suggest?.
Regards
robin
