This is a known problem: sbcl-1.3.1 has a bug (huge memory use
during compilation) so it can not build FriCAS. Use either older
or newer (starting from sbcl-1.3.5) sbcl version.
Concerning memory use during compilation: I used to build FriCAS
on a laptop with 1G RAM and no swap. On 32-bit machines FriCAS
probably will build in 256M, but I did not try recently. Note
that recent sbcl limits memory use to 1G, so 2G can be used only
if you use parellel build.
BTW: The problem with sbcl-1.3.1 was discoverd after release of
FriCAS-1.3.2. Development version of FriCAS would find out that
sbcl has bug, print error message during configure and refuse
to build.
