Greetings
I am using a data processing application that uses make for its
implementation. The application is a set of python scripts that write
out Makefiles and the user launches the analysis by typing make -j n
target. I suspect the authors were looking for a cheap way to get
parallelization. The make takes many hours to run in most cases,
executing a variety of c methods and scripts. My problem comes about
when make tries to launch a new thread:
make.err:make[1]: vfork: Resource temporarily unavailable
I suspect that the resource it wants is swap space, I can see that it
occasionally fills up and I am working on fixing that. But failing
that, is there a way to get make to tell me what it lacks?
I am on a Penguin Computing scyld cluster with Relion 1702 compute
nodes, kernel=
Linux scyld.localdomain 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.530g0000 #1 SMP Tue Mar 17
21:49:24 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and the latest Centos linux.
Thanks
Mike
