All my boxes have been upgraded in the last two weeks to SuSE 10.2... I'm installing solaris 11 on 64bit intel-based machine I just acquired, once I'm finished I'll try testing there. | The axiom-developer.org server runs as a shared virtual host | using a variant of the Red Hat linux kernel I am not exactly | sure the of details, but the upshot is that the linux memory | management in this configuration is a little different. As a | result it does not support the configure option | | --maxpages=256*1024 | | I have to manually build gcl with a smaller memory size. With | gcl-2.6.8pre it is possible to use values that are not powers | of 2 and it seems that almost any size less than 256*1024 will | work. Right now I am using | | --maxpages=196*1024 | | and the build completes normally. OK. | I am not sure whether this is related to Martin and Tim's | problem or not but it is my initial guess. Anyway, it is useful configuration information to have. Did we have Axiom buildable with another Lisp system we would have a different angle from which to attack the issue... -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
