I'm trying to build GCL. I've cloned the Git repo and checked out
branch Version_2_7_2pre. I followed these steps from GCL web site:
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/gcl.git
cd gcl/gcl
git checkout Version_2_7_2pre
autoreconf -f -i
./configure --prefix=your_install_directory && make install
I get most of the way through it, but it appears that towards the end
of the process I get the following error. I've omitted most of the
output and pasted the last 100 lines or so as a PS below.
The error message is something about "Cannot allocate memory." Is it
possible this system does not have enough memory? The total memory on
this system is 4 G, of which abou 1.3 G is said to be available, as
reported by the command "free".
Is there any way to see how much memory it is attempting to allocate
before it dies? Is there a way to modify the memory allocation? Any
other advice?
Thank you for your help,
Robert
PS.
